This is a Companion Workbook for personal or group study based on the book The Wounded Spirit.

A wounded (broken, damaged or crushed) spirit is the injury to the emotions by another that manifests such horrendous pain and misery that it may feel as if we have been torn open and are bleeding from every orifice of the body. The Wounded Spirit seeks to address many of the heart wounds that plague humanity, offering biblical direction regarding their resolution and healing. The purpose of this book is primarily twofold. First, it is my intent to encourage and help the hurting by revealing from Scripture that God loves them, that He is ever in con-trol of their life, and that He works out all that happens for their highest good and His glory. Second, I write to aid believers in recognizing their wounded spirit and how it may be healed.

(Isaiah 40:1)
