Living in a broken world gives us plenty of reasons to armor up, shut down, and numb out. But God wants more for us than just getting by.

Healing What You Can’t Erase offers a far better solution—a road map for moving forward through the losses and scars by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us . . . spirit, soul, and body.
