Church Hurt Happens
Wounded: Healing from Church Hurt by Mark Dunning is a collection of short, authentic, and heartfelt essays. Written for someone who was emotionally hurt in church, Wounded is partly autobiographical. As he shares his story, Dunning presents an insightful and honest guide to help you move from heartache to healing. The author reminds the reader that every church is imperfect because every church is made up of imperfect people. Those who have been church hurt should understand that imperfect people hurt you – not God. If you are open to it, God can use this book to help you become an even stronger believer.

Mark Dunning’s first book Wounded is a heart opening experience. Marks writing feels like a personal conversation while sitting face to face. I couldn’t read this book without thinking about my own personal experiences, either wounds I have caused or the ones caused by others. This was a perfect look into real life hurts and allowing God to do what He does best! It is a short but sweet read with lifelong impact. I feel like I can use what is written in places beyond church hurt because let’s be real hurt is hurt, but the One who is able to restore my Joy, cares about all of my wounds! My heart has been opened as much as my eyes. Let the healing begin! This book is a great resource for really anyone walking with life wounds. It’s simple, it’s raw, it’s real and it gives hope.
