Customer Reviews

It could change your life

I bought this book after reading many helpful reviews by fellow readers. When I first thumbed through the book I was skeptical, it almost seemed "too easy" to read and I wondered how it could affect me. A couple devotions in, I found myself weeping from seeing myself in these stories of women, and reading the "Love Letters from God" through out. I had always feared God so much I was very afraid of him, always thinking of him as too judging and revengeful to love someone like me. After reading this I have come to experience his deepest love for me for the first time.

Healing for the heart

A Woman Who Hurts, A God Who Heals is a balm for the many hurts women have to deal with, whether once in a lifetime or on a daily basis. I read this book initially on my own. Quite frankly, it changed my life. Even more, it changed how I experience Jesus. I think I finally understood His amazing love for me for the first time. What an awesome thing, to discover in my 50's that Jesus really, truly does love me. I just had to share Elsa's book with other women who were hurting. As a Bible Study facilitator, I was able to do just that with a precious group of women who have all been through the wringer. Each of us had been through a different wringer, but Elsa's book spoke to each of us right where we needed it. Through tears and laughter and prayer and scripture, we each found the healing we needed from the Great Physician AND the unconditional love of our Father in Heaven. Will this book cure everything that ails you? No. Only our Lord has that power. Will it set you on the right path to His healing power? A resounding YES! Will it change your life? Read it and find out.

Healing for the Heart and Mind

As a women's Bible study teacher and speaker, I have found this book to be invaluable to me personally as I filter through hurts of my past. It has also equipped me to be sensitive to other women who may be struggling with past guilt or shame. The reader will find this study to be firmly based in scripture which will lead them right to the heart of God, the God who heals both the heart and mind.

Spiritual healing

Clearly, Elsa Kok has walked through some fires herself, and has a real, down-to-earth way of talking to people who are wounded. Her books help people, especially women, heal...because she will tell you about God's absolute crazy love for YOU. And it feels like you're sitting down talking to a friend.
