There are so many books you could read about healing from trauma. And yet, I have found one that not only provides information on this topic but also helps you see it played out in 2024. This book was very helpful.
The story focuses on The Parable of The Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25 -35. They took a few verses, made it into a self-help book with thought-provoking questions and a heartfelt gripping fiction story, which was easy to read.
The questions were so comprehensive until after chapter four, I skipped them in order finish the book. I was not disappointed because the allegory brought everything to life. Very relatable. Gripping to the core of one’s beliefs. Makes you wonder which character you are in The Parable of The Good Samaritan.
I liked that they didn’t conclude the book with the allegory, but with an Epilogue which gave a practical way to help one on their road to wholeness.
It was my pleasure to receive a copy of the book before it's release date.

this book is AMAZING
the Good Samaritan is a story many Christians are familiar with but the way the Bowling women analyze it brings a whole new depth and understanding to it. The first half of the book is such a good analytical look into trauma and the second half of the book fully pulls you into what the Samaritan story would be like in the modern day. I cannot rave about this book enough! It is insanely deep but you also come away with the simplest of truths - Love is what’s going to heal us all.
