Have you been wounded by someone in the church? Do you know someone who is no longer attending church as a result of being wounded by those who were supposed to be their leaders? You need to read this book! Wounded in the House of a Friend was written from the heart of a Pastor. Dr. Howard Ryan pastored for over 60 years, was so moved by the casualties he had encountered in churches, he was compelled to write this definitive work on this difficult subject. The message of this book is this------Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus commanded us to love each other. It is essential that we love our neighbor as ourselves. We must honor and esteem all men and women, and wrong or injure none. Thus, in this book Dr. Ryan helps us: - Face the truth about abuse in the church - Trace the roots of abuse and subsequent wounding - Erase through the forgiveness and repentance the wounds and offenses, and - Replace the wound with love for others, and grace for the future.
