Road Map to Healing

by Cyndy Sherwood

Road Map to Healing is a complete resource designed to help individuals navigate through their healing journey by applying the truth of God's Word. The nonfiction book features the biblical principles that Cyndy has been teaching in The Healing Journey Class since 2001. Healing is the work of God. We have perhaps tried to deal with the painful wounds we have received from other people and our own prideful choices by shoving the truth into a closet, turning to pills, food or alcohol, sex, relationships, therapy, retreats, conferences or self-redemption through achievement or good works. None of these can heal our wounds. They may make us feel better for a short time, or may bring us greater understanding; but none of these things can heal us, because healing is the work of God alone. When we have been deeply wounded, turning to God, though, is often the last thing we want to do. Hard questions like, "God, I know you're there; I know you're powerful; so how in the world did this happen to me?" create a chasm that seems impossible to crossover. Honest questions and real events make it hard for us to even approach God with the possibility of letting him heal us. Road Map to Healing creates a bridge to help you travel from your honest place of pain, doubt, and confusion over to freedom, peace, and joy. As an added bonus, the book includes a fiction novella following the journey of Sojourner as she leaves Egypt and travels through Letting-Go Wilderness seeking a new life in the Promised Land. At the end of each chapter are three questions to help you apply the teaching to your own life plus a prayer of response inviting you to take small steps toward God, as you are ready. I hope you will take the journey with me.

Powerful, life- and heart-transforming principles. As Linda Dillow says in her foreword, "a book on healing that is totally biblical and authentically honest, leading women to their God, not to a "quick fix."

Based on her study The Healing Journey Class (available in men's and women's versions as well as Freedom Journey for teens) that has changed thousands of lives, I would probably give this book five stars except that the class offers SO much more. It can be worked through alone, with a facilitator one-on-one, or as part of a group. If you can, take the class! If not, then read the book.

As Linda Dillow says, "Every one of us needs the healing touch of the Holy Spirit in our lives ... Road Map to Healing will reveal the healing path to you and show you HOW to walk on the path."
