Straight from the Heart - a Healing Journey: Rewriting the Stories of Our Lives with God's Grace, Heuristic Research and Self-search Inquiry Marj Pettinger

We all have stories to tell. In fact, we are our stories. Our stories reveal how we perceive ourselves, others and the world around us. When our stories have been particularly traumatic they can fill our memories and our hearts to the point of virtually making us ill. It is possible, through remembering, reflecting, revisiting, re-framing, retelling and rewriting the stories of our lives, to change those stories as we focus on the positives. This book reveals a formula that has proven successful for the author as she, herself, moved towards "a healing journey." Scripture says "And we know that all things work together for good..." (Romans 8:28) and when we re-frame our stories they can become an instrument of healing in our wounded lives. The author encourages the reader to take the negative and turn it into a positive step forward as you journey towards your own inner health.
