As we start this journey, Healing The Wounded Heart, I want to share a book that I believe everyone should read. Juana Mikels has written a book about her journey and not only the healing of her heart but also her marriage, called "Choosing Him".
I found myself identifying with it in many ways. It was nice to know that I was not the only one that had those feelings. Like heri found that the only way to heal any relationship is to allow God to do the work. When we try on our own power we will fail because we put our demands on what we want out of the relationship.
Over 5 years ago my husband sustained a brain injury from a major car accident. Suddenly the man that I married was changed in personality. Can’t really lay a finger on it but he was different. The ER doctor ignored the fact that he said he had a major headache and that his head felt like it was replaced with his heart. It was over a week later that his primary care ran an MRI and found that there were at least 5 spots on his brain that had leaked. It was then I started researching brain injuries and found out that some of the changes that I was seeing was also due to the injury. I also found out that it took years to recover from brain injuries, one lady it was 7 years. I thought to myself that this is for better or worse. As the years went by the distance that I was feeling grew and I started praying for God to return my husband back to me. One of the things that I really like that Juana included in Choosing Him is the section in the book How You Can Pray For Your Husband. I love praying scriptures and being able to pray for my husband in certain areas with scripture has really helped. I can see a change not only in my husband but in myself.
If you want to go deeper than just reading the book there is a free downloadable Bible study that goes along with it. Having read through the book once, I’m now going through it again with the Bible study and am enjoying getting more out of it than before.
Because this book fits so well with our current study I am excited to be able to help Juana in her book launch as we launch this study. You can order off Amazon HERE or at your local bookstore!
You can also order off Kindle HERE!
FREE downloadable companion Choosing Him Bible Study Guide is HERE!
