SynopsisIn Wounded by God's People Anne Graham Lotz draws on the biblical story of Hagar to show those who have been hurt by God's people how to move past their wounds into the joy and fellowship of His presence, claiming the fullness of 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.

  • A must read!

    Anne Graham Lotz draws on her own experiences of pain, healing and redemptive love in telling the Biblical story of Hagar, a woman wounded by God’s people during the Old Testament days of Abraham. The book reveals the sad truth that some of our most painful wounds as Christians are inflicted by those in the church- pastors, teachers, and trusted Christian friends- but that healing and forgiveness...even in exile...can be found in God’s love. The key is in not confusing God’s imperfect people with God Himself for God loves both the wounded....and the wounders!

  • Great book!

    Awesome book and a good perspective about how we need to be careful we don't fall in the trap of wounding others because we have been wounded by folks. Anne Graham Lotz shares personal experiences in this book and makes very good points.
