How Healed Do You Want to Be?: Finding hope and wholeness in a sharp-edged world

Book excerpt: It is a sharp-edged world and getting hurt is unavoidable. Whether it is physical, spiritual or emotional, we all experience pain on some level and are left with trying to pick up the pieces. What do we do? How do we move forward? Do we want to merely get bandaged up so we can get back into the game? Or do we want something so powerful and miraculous that it leaves us better than when we first experienced pain? In How Healed Do You Want to Be? author William Faris explores the world of healing from a different perspective, defining the true nature of healing and challenging the reader to ask those tough questions that help us discover the deep healing God has for our lives. He lays out a biblical road map that helps those on this journey find a healing that leaves them in better shape than when one of the sharp edges from the world first found them.
