Book Cover & Preview Text
Inner healing is a process and I do not believe that anyone ever attains perfection and complete wholeness on this earth. That happens when we get to heaven. As we continue to live in this world, new emotional pain and trauma come our way. It is inevitable. No one has a pain-free life. Some have had more of these unwanted experiences than others but we are all subjected to emotional pain and trauma at one time or another. However, as the Lord reveals things in us that need to be healed, we are responsible to seek out that healing. It is a lifelong process. As the level of healing increases in us, the closer to the Lord we can become. Hearing Him becomes easier and that is a necessity if we are going to help others obtain freedom.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; Psalm 139:23

About the Book
Healing Hearts: A Journey in the Midst of Spiritual Adversity is the remarkable story of many emotionally painful and traumatic experiences from author Kathy Shelton’s life, telling how the Lord Jesus Christ healed deep places of emotional and spiritual wounds in her heart so that she could then help others. It was written to encourage those who have undergone painful and traumatic situations and let them know that there is healing and freedom available through the love of Jesus Christ. Healing Hearts is also intended to be a resource for and inspiration to those who are currently serving the Lord or who are considering becoming involved in inner healing ministry.
“Our spiritual growth is often blocked by unhealed emotional and spiritual wounds. Most of us have been unaware of the effect that the painful and traumatic events in our lives have had on us and our ability to grow in the Lord. … Unless healing occurs for the pain that has been stuffed, we may struggle for years and sometimes our entire life in our walk with God.
“Spiritual maturity is a process. It is not something that occurs automatically the moment after we ask Jesus into our lives. Oh, if it were just that simple! In James 1:4, we are instructed to become mature and complete, not lacking anything. … We must pursue spiritual maturity.”
