An exciting presentation of a fresh approach to healing by one of the UK's leading exponents of pastoral care and Christian healing.
Russ Parker explores the power of wounded group stories and reveals how they affect the people and places where they first occurred. He shows how history repeats itself until we find ways to listen to it, locate where it is happening, and find healing for its consequences.
Healing Wounded History introduces the role of strategic prayer known as 'representional confession' and demonstrates how it makes reconciliation and renewal possible for families, churches, communities, tribes and nations.
This book is groundbreaking in its ideas, consistent in its theology, and gentle in its approach.
