WOUNDED GLORY How God Turns Your Pain Into Your Platform Your pain is real. Your story is not over. Nobody gets used to pain. And too many believers have been told to hide it, to spiritualize it, or to hurry past it. Wounded Glory does something different. It looks straight at the wound, tells the truth about it from the King James Bible, and shows how God meets, heals, and in His time uses what you have been through. Born from grief over a young life lost to shame and false accusation, this book walks through Scripture with the question every sufferer eventually asks: Why is this happening to me, and what will God do with it? Inside you will find: - The four dimensions and five stages of pain, so you can name where you are and what to do next - Permission to weep: how to pray a lament when you have no words - The Five Roots of Pain: consequence, other people's sin, a fallen world, spiritual warfare, and divine formation, and what each one calls for - Where lies take root, and a four-step method for replacing them with truth - Forgiveness without forgetting justice, including what to do when you have been harmed or silenced - How the body of Christ should carry the wounded, and how to ask for help - Patience, desperation, and why no one should make a permanent decision in a temporary crisis - The wounds Christ kept after the resurrection, and what "wounded glory" really means, including four shapes of healing - How to steward your testimony and tell when you are ready to minister from a scar, not an open wound - A map of the names of God, matched to the wounds they met - A Seven-Week Study Guide for individuals and small groups - A safety page at the front for any reader in crisis For anyone who has been betrayed, bereaved, falsely accused, or worn down by a long season, and for pastors, counsellors, and small-group leaders who walk with them. You will not be asked to pretend. You will be asked to bring the wound to the One who bore ours, and to find out what He does with it. "Thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." - Psalm 3:3
