Strong Winds & Crashing Waves: Meeting Jesus in the Memories of Traumatic Events - Paperback

by Terry Wardle (Author)

In Strong Winds and Crashing Waves, Terry Wardle uses his own personal story of emotional pain to introduce his reader to the healing that is possible through faith in Jesus Christ. The author calls us to invite Jesus himself to enter hidden painful memories, reorder them with his presence, release damaged emotions and allow them to be reprocessed by the adult brain. Terry calls this formational prayer, and he has written the formational book for pastoral care and human well-being. It is a liberating read for all who suffer the winds and waves of emotional pain and all who care for their recovery.
