Rejection: Healing a Wounded Heart

Hope for the Heart

by June Hunt

How do you cope when a deep or tragic loss leaves you feeling empty, angry, or alone? How do you break free from the cycle of rejection that causes you to feel hopeless? Healing is a journey, and while there are no shortcuts through the process of grief caused by bulling and peer pressure, God promises not to leave you in the valley of despair, doomed to repeat the cycle of rejection over and over. Through this Christian book, learn what the causes of feeling rejected are, like abandonment, adoptions, bullying, peer pressure, childhood sexual abuse, disapproval, divorce, domestic violence, and how to overcome those painful experiences.
Have you walked the lonely road of rejection? If so, you know the silent cry for acceptance, that inner need for intimacy, the deep craving for closeness. Jesus, too, dealt with rejection. Your identity is in the Lord because of your relationship with Him. He holds you in His compassionate hands, and you are accepted.

Reviews

[Linda Martin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a super-short book, but contains lots of helpful wisdom from a wise and helpful Christian counselor. It is almost like an outline. Fortunately it is very easy to read through, so that makes it more helpful especially for people who don't usually want to sit down for days reading a thicker book.

What I liked about this book:
Very short paragraphs.
A perfect scripture at the end of each section.
Questions and answers.
Lists of things to watch for or understand.
A prayer at the end, with memorization verses.

If you're still in pain over some rejection in the past, this is a good book to help get you through it. It makes you look at the situation from multiple angles and offers some Biblical solutions.

Clear, thorough, biblical guidance for those fighting rejection is what you'll find in this book. It's the second one I've read from this collection by June Hunt and I'm seriously impressed. I've found this one helpful in recognizing a few things for what they are in my life, as well as gaining some new tools to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Whether you're a Christian counselor looking for new material to add to your tool box, or a person looking for biblical based help to fight your way through the struggles we face in life, I think one of June Hunt's 'Hope for the Heart' collection could be helpful for you.

Joseph experienced rejection

The author follows the life of Joseph and the numerous times he was rejected by friends and family. He didn't succumb to bitterness, but continued to work wholeheartedly. Plenty of scripture throughout.
