I’m totally stoked about my latest book!!! My daughter, Isabell Bowling, and I have co-authored a really incredible experience for you – Road to Wholeness!
To give you some background, I was reading the Good Samaritan parable and was astonished to learn that when it says the Good Samaritan bound the wounds of the victim on the Jericho Road, the word used for wound in the Greek is literally the word trauma.
This was wholly arresting to me because I’d been doing some work and reading around the subject of trauma, so the fact that this word is used in Jesus’s parable was riveting to me. I began writing about trauma—based on the Good Samaritan—and I even tried my hand at writing a modern allegory to complement the non-fiction I was writing.
Thankfully, Isabell leaped into this project with me to love our readers with her fantastic writing of the allegory! My attempt at fiction would have been torturous for our readers!
So we have written a book for you, our dear reader. We wholly believe that this book can help you, not only with trauma in your life, but also navigating trauma in the lives of people around you. Furthermore, we think you will be surprised by some observations and revelations in Road to Wholeness. It’s also our sincere goal and prayer that you experience healing as you read this book as well as see how God could possibly bring healing through you to people who have experienced trauma.
Please be sure to grab your copy today! Here’s an excerpt to whet your appetite:
When you think about it, this parable has six characters who play important roles. These six individuals include the traveler (victim/patient), bandits or criminals, a priest, a Levite, the hero (also known as the Good Samaritan), and the innkeeper. I’m bringing all of these characters to your attention because, in this parable, we often only think about the traveler/victim and the hero/Samaritan. Of course, these are very important individuals in this parable, but we would be remiss to ignore the other participants...
