About the Book
"If you're like many of us, you carry a weight of buried pain. Despite looking put together on the outside, you feel secretly fractured within. While you appear strong and resilient on the outside, inside a storm brews of all the ways you've been hurt or harmed. There's a constant churn of unprocessed feelings of shame, anger, grief, or loneliness. And your body tells the story of its struggles in a myriad of aches and ailments. Little by little, you find yourself becoming disconnected from who you truly are. Not knowing what to do with your suffering and fearing you'll be hurt again, you've learned to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within."--Book Synopsis

I highly recommend this new book by @chuckdegroat ! Chuck's recommendations are trauma-informed and he integrates ancient wisdom with modern science and includes several spiritual/psychological practices to increase our ability to be present with all parts of ourselves --especially those parts we tend to exile.

Healing What's Within is an exquisitely written book by Chuck DeGroat, blending therapeutic tools of psychology and theology into a masterfully written book on healing. Pointing the reader back to God, the source of all compassion and hope, Chuck divides the book into three major sections based on the story of Genesis 3. God compassionately says to Adam and Eve "Where Are You?", "Who Told You?", and "Have You Eaten from the Tree?" and Chuck uses this approach to touch upon the healing process of suffering, listening, and guiding us to where (and who) we should take our hunger and longings. In Part One, ‘Where are you?’ God is inviting us to see just how lost, alone, and alienated we’ve become and encourages us to come out of hiding. In Part Two, ‘Who told you?’ God invites us to reflect on the story of that original wound in the Garden of Eden, and the deceptive practices of the evil one. Finally, in Part Three, ‘Have you eaten from the tree?’ God is inviting us to explore how we, through our own futile but fervent efforts, try to address the deep hunger of our hearts. Throughout the book, Chuck brings clarity, wisdom, and personalized stories to share how areas of hiddenness, shame, fear, and trauma can over-take our desire for total surrender to God, as we act in self-reliance or on our human strength. God desires restoration and unity among his children, and healing and hope for all. By drawing us closer to the Lord and walking in obedience to His direction and guidance in our lives, we can learn how to heal our wounds. As Chuck says, as we find ourselves weary, wounded, and wandering, may we recall these three questions asked from God that invite us on a journey of healing what's within. Thank you to NetGalley and Tyndale House Publishers for the advanced review copy of this incredible book. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
