Putting My Stuff in the Past: Healing and Reconciliation - Paperback

by Willie Eugene Marshall (Author)

This work study book is designed to help clergy and laity all over the world to find effective ways to deal with and eventually move beyond the hurt and pain, the stuff of their past through a positive process of healing and reconciliation before they find themselves as hurting people hurting other people. Everybody goes through something regardless of who they are. Therefore, we never know when people are going through their stuff. Nobody is exempt from pain and hurt. As we have heard many people say, "Church hurt is the worst hurt," but in my opinion, "hurt is hurt wherever it occurs." I would like to address church hurt, healing, and reconciliation both in the pulpit and in the pew focusing on the following: church hurt, the pastor and the pastor's family, moving from one congregation to another, competition in the kingdom, rebuilding the trust, and people releasing people.
