LONGWOOD, FL-The word "damaged" was derived from two words: damned and image. We were created in God's image, but when sin came in, mankind could no longer reflect God's image upon the earth, and hence the image was damned. However, God sent His Son so that we could be conformed to His image and once again reflect His image upon the earth. Mary T. Sherman's Right the Wrong Within,/a> ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-361-9) will enable Christians to see what damage is and how it affects them in their everyday thinking, feeling, and acting.
Says Sherman, "There is no other book that covers so many areas of the Christian's life. It not only deals with salvation and the process of sanctification through God opening the eyes of the believer to see and understand the damage that has been done to the soul through sin, but also gives the understanding [of] how God heals."
Herself a victim of a "damaged soul," Sherman suffered for 15-plus years while working through many wounded areas in her life. In the first four years of her recovery work, recounts the author, "There wasn't a day that was not filled with pain or suffering." Through her own recovery, she learned there was no help anywhere other than in God. Her book, which recalls the steps she took to find deliverance from her sorrows, takes Christians through a three-step process: recognizing the "motions" of sin working in and through their soul and body; recognizing emotional pain, how it feels, where it originates, and how to deal with it; and recognizing how their character and conduct has been affected.
Mary Sherman has served in the Christian community for 30 years and has been responsible for the founding of many ministries and outreaches.
