From bestselling author and daughter of Billy and Ruth Graham, Anne Graham-Lotz in her new book, Wounded by God's People , uses the story of Hagar to help people move past their wounds and into the joy and fellowship of God's presence. Tucked into Abraham's biography is the story of Hagar, a young Egyptian slave with whom Abraham had a son named Ishmael. Hagar stands out because she was wounded--not physically, but in ways that were as emotionally and spiritually painful as any injury to a body would be. Some wounds were provoked by her own behavior, but others were inflicted by those who considered themselves God's people. As Hagar's story unfolds, readers discover that wounded people often become wounders themselves. While Anne identifies with the wounded, the unpleasant reality is that she also identifies with the wounders because she has been one too. She knows from experience that wounding is a cycle that needs to be broken. And, according to Lotz, by God's grace, it can be. Many have had similar experiences where they have been wounded. Whatever their hurts may be, Wounded by God's People will help them begin a healing journey--one that enables them to reclaim the joy of God's presence and all the blessings God has for them., Tucked into Abraham s biography is the story of Hagar, a young Egyptian slave with whom Abraham had a son named Ishmael. Hagar stood out because she was wounded not physically, but in ways that were as emotionally and spiritually painful as any injury to a body would be. Some wounds were provoked by her own bad behavior, but others were inflicted by those who considered themselves God s people. Anne Graham Lotz too has been wounded by God s people. Some wounds have been deeper than others, some have come out of nowhere, and still others have been provoked by her own behavior, but all of the wounds have been deeply painful. They seemed to hurt even more when the wounders wrapped their behavior in a semblance of religion or piety. As Hagar s story unfolds, you will discover that wounded people often become wounders themselves. While Anne identifies with the wounded, the unpleasant reality is that she also identifies with the wounders, because she has been one, too. She knows from experience that wounding is a cycle that needs to be broken. And by God s grace, it can be. Many have had similar experiences. And perhaps you are among those who have been so deeply hurt that you have confused God s imperfect people with God. Maybe you have even run away from God as a result. Or perhaps you have been a wounder to the extent that you are living in a self-imposed exile, believing you are unworthy to be restored to a warm, loving relationship with God or with God s people. Whatever your hurts may be, Wounded by God s People helps you to begin a healing journey one that enables you to reclaim the joy of God s presence and all the blessings God has for you. God loves the wounded. And the wounders."

More often than not, the debates had merely a local impact, even if among the debaters were many of the leaders, thinkers, and opinion formers of the future, figures such as Harold Macmillan, Archbishop Temple, Edward Heath, and Tony Benn.Pauli Murray first saw Eleanor Roosevelt in 1933, at the height of the Depression, at a government-sponsored, two-hundred-acre camp for unemployed women where Murray was living, something the first lady had pushed her husband to set up in her effort to do what she could for working women and the poor.In the view of historians, Sarah Grimk has long been overshadowed by her sister, Angelina.
