I love how Joyce explained how we build walls to keep others from hurting but in the process we lock ourselves up in the process, because we want to be in control of who and what we will allow to hurt us. Running on empty for years and now that I’ve exhausted each wrestling move I’m going to turn and face ME. It helps show you how to stop putting so much emphasis on what others think and start thinking more about what God thinks and who you think about who YOU are.

She also makes sweeping generalization statements as if they are known truths without delving into why she thinks the statements are true. If an abuser apologizes but continues to abuse, I don't believe you put pressure on the abused to stay and forgive.I also find it curious that author Joyce Meyer rarely gives specific examples of trials in her life. Healing the Soul of a woman gives us a look into how God loves us unconditionally and how He wants healing for us. A New York Times bestselling author, Joyce’s books have helped millions of people find hope and restoration through Jesus Christ.

Well, once again, Meyer hits it out of the ballpark with a book so full of revelation and inspiring narrative, that I am amazed, touched, enlightened, and spiritually challenged. The emotional wounds addressed are relevant to women and the words in this book will give you encouragement to everyone who is hurting. As a woman who endured years of abuse, abandonment, and betrayal by those closest to her, Joyce Meyer can answer with a resounding 'yes! There are also some empowering chapters in the back that cover topics like standing up for yourself, establishing boundaries, and being your own best advocate, but I so wish these chapters had been presented in the beginning of the book.Healing the Soul of a Woman is a solid approach to addressing past and present struggles with it's well balanced combination of biblical scripture and practical life lessons from Joyce. Each chapter guides you through whatever obstacles may be holding you back to find your true destiny as God's beloved.

By reading this I have realized I have been dealing with a lot of broken wounds that I keep running away from. Nos hace un llamado a tomar las riendas de nuestra vida, poniendo a Dios en primer lugar y considerando que no existe trauma que no podamos superar y que nosotras somos las responsables de cómo afrentamos los traumas por los que pasamos en la vida. I think with that consideration this could've been a much better on ramp for those who don't start off 100% on alignment with her way of thinking.I also found it encouraging when Meyer says that people who've suffered abuse or some other tragedy don't have to believe their lives will never be "as good as. She will say, "I recently went through something that was troubling me and stealing my peace," but she doesn't like to reveal details.
