It happens every day. People are deeply wounded by the words and actions of those around them. And it affects them for the rest of their lives. We've all been there - we've all been wounded and we've all wounded others. But it's time to become "wounded healers," loving and protecting the people around us. The Wounded Spirit has become more than a book. The message has connected with thousands and has become a national movement. This 64-page call to action, entitled No More Victims , is designed as a giveaway to students for them to join in the fight against bullying.
FROM HIS WEBSITE: With more than 12 million novels in print, Frank Peretti is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon and has been called “America’s hottest Christian novelist.”
Peretti is a natural storyteller who, as a youngster in Seattle, regularly gathered the neighborhood children for animated storytelling sessions. After graduating from high school, he began playing banjo with a local bluegrass group. He and his wife were married in 1972, and Peretti soon moved from touring with a pop band to launching a modest Christian music ministry. Peretti later spent time studying English, screen writing and film at UCLA and then assisted his father in pastoring a small Assembly of God church. In 1983, he gave up his pastoring position and began taking construction jobs to make ends meet. While working at a local ski factory, he began writing This Present Darkness, the book that would catapult him into the public eye. After numerous rejections from publishers and a slow start in sales, word-of-mouth enthusiasm finally lifted This Present Darkness onto a tidal wave of interest in spiritual warfare. The book appeared on Bookstore Journal’s bestseller list every month for more than eight years. Peretti’s two spiritual warfare novels, This Present Darkness (1998) and Piercing the Darkness (1989), captivated readers, together selling more than 3.5 million copies. The Oath was awarded the 1996 Gold Medallion Award for best fiction.
For kids, Peretti wrote The Cooper Kids Adventure Series (Crossways and Tommy Nelson), which remains a best-selling series for children with sales exceeding 1 million copies. In August 2000, Peretti released the hilarious children’s audiocassette series titled Wild and Wacky Totally True Bible Stories, reprising his role as Mr. Henry, the offbeat substitute Sunday School teacher found in two Visual Bible for Kids videos.
Peretti released his first-ever non-fiction book, The Wounded Spirit in 2000, which quickly became a best-seller. The book addresses the pain of “wounded spirits” and was written as a result of painful childhood experiences.
Frank Peretti and his wife, Barbara Jean, live in the Western U.S. In spite of sudden fame and notoriety, Frank still lives a simple, well-rounded life that includes carpentry, banjo making, sculpturing, bicycling and hiking. He is also an avid pilot.
Wow! This book was marvelous!! The writing was brilliant. Frank Peretti wrote with such skill and persuasion that you wished you could jump into the book and change things! This book was moving and I would recommend this book to absolutely everyone! Short yet touching read! Awesome(:
This was terrible. Genuinely one of the worst books I have ever read and I can't believe someone gave me this as a kid, thinking it would actually help. It's just straight-up religious propaganda. Absolutely disgusting.
This book so far is so good. and I feel like it's gonna be a eye opener for my life. I'm really enjoying it. It touches my heart and gives me emotion. Also, a big huge page turner. I loved this book. It's super great. It changed the way I saw the view towards other people. This is a great book. It takes really deep and makes you want to keep reading. The life of this character is so interesting just by the way he became such a great man in his life no matter what he went through.
A wonderful reflection of a life most of us have gone through, bullying. We all are human, writes the author, but we all find faults and tear others apart because of those faults we have nothing to do to fix. Perritti is honest about his past and helps us all see the harmful effects of bullying and how we can change if we just have the desire to do so.
No More Victims By Frank Peretti is another Non-Fiction "Anti-Bully" book and the followup to "The Wounded Spirit." Very good teaching tool for everyone. All should read this book. This book hits home on a personal level.
This was an interesting read written by an author with both points of view...Bullied and Bully. Thought and memory provoking, I could see myself on both sides of the issue. Highly recommend!
