While not providing answers in themselves, the questions raised in these letters help Christians of all denominations unravel their personal feelings about their ongoing journey with God. Letters from a Wounded Heart is a thoughtful and consoling book for the poet/writer/seeker in all of us. It's perfect for a self-directed retreat or for a comforting gift. Those in the helping professions will find it an invaluable resource--pastors, pastoral counselors, clergy and religious, spiritual directors, retreat directors, and Christian counselors.« less
