Everyone has a story to tell, with each having moments of growth, heartbreak, blessing, and/or clarity. This book focuses most on meeting people right where they are in their pain, understanding that God uses the other side of storms as trophies of mercy. A perfect example of how God uses an ordinary person's brokenness in extraordinary ways is to help others achieve joy. Dr. Pammy Jean enhances each chapter by relaying stories from her past (drug addict, runaway, and abused by others), as well as from her professional expertise with a doctorate in behavioral science and education. She includes appropriate Scripture references, thought-provoking and interactive questions, and resources to use in expanding one's insight. Each chapter's topic relates not only to the author's life, but exposes rooted undertones of hidden brokenness within the unhealed reader. As readers identify with the purposes of their storms, they deepen their relationships with God. It takes time, energy, and desire, as relationships don't happen by accident. It also takes the obedience of being completely open and honest with all your faults and feelings. Trust God's wisdom to be perfect, and you will have a joyful life. Dr. Pammy Jean offers "Understanding Your Journey" as healing through spiritual perspective. It can be said that you are as close to God as you choose to be.
