Wounds - by Ryan James Miller (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Your wounds hold the key to everything you've ever dreamed.

You want to stand on the mountaintop, but no matter how hard you work or how much of yourself you invest, you cannot reach the pinnacle of success. Lately, doubts have crept in, darkening your days and making you wonder if trauma and pain from the past will always prevent you from achieving all you desire.

Left untreated-or mistreated-the wounds you bear can cause serious complications and hold you back. Ryan James Miller tackles the things that have scarred us: loss, abandonment, addiction, health issues, and disability, among others. Wounds offers a way through.

Learn to recognize the damage you've suffered. Discover real ways to address your wounds, grow from them, relate to others through them, and ultimately, leverage them. Only then can you embrace the plans God has for your life and achieve the greatness He created you for.

Review Quotes

"Oh the joy, the freedom, when we finally receive healing from our deepest wounds! I'm so glad Ryan wrote this book!"

-JOHN ELDREDGE, author and President of Wild at Heart

"It's not always the magnitude of life challenges, but how we relate to and deal with them that matters. Page by page, Ryan brings perspectives about trials, betrayal, and a diversity of life challenges in a way that seemingly dismantles the devastation that life difficulties can bring. He reveals with great clarity the value and strength that can be leveraged from hardships and shares ways to connect with God and others to minimize-even vaporize-the polarizing effects of adversity. Read it and reap!"

-DEAN DEL SESTO, entrepreneur and four-time published author

"I have had a front-row seat, these last few years, to Miller's dedicated application of the ideas in this book to his own life. I have watched as God has continued to heal the wounds in his soul and his relationships and has caused him to flourish as a husband, father, and leader. Miller is not only a powerful leader and communicator. He is also a dedicated practitioner, willing to do the deep, hard work of soul sojourn. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. As a pastor, I have met with Miller and a group of men in our church every week for the past two years. During that time, I have seen God restore a highly gifted, yet wounded man, back to his calling to lead in the spheres of family, business, and church. I believe there is significant insight in this book that will help you greatly. More importantly, there is a life behind these ideas that is walking them out with integrity. And that is rare."

-ALAN FROW, Lead Pastor of Southlands Church
