In Healing the Wounds of Rejection, Joyce Meyer has teamed up with her long time TV host and ministry assistant (her official title is chief creative officer), Ginger Stache to discuss the topic of rejection. The world around us is feeling lonely, invisible, betrayed by others, and they don’t know how to move forward from this pain. She wrote this book because God put it on her heart that the world is needing healing and freedom from the wounds of rejection. Scriptures declare how He can heal our wounds and our broken heart. God has created each of us in His own image and He greatly loves us. We are created for companionship. Even Jesus was rejected by many and He wasn’t always welcomed and at times I’m sure he felt lonely. He told his disciples to shake off the dust from their feet and move on to the next place when they faced being rejected in the town. They were called to preach the Gospel and not everyone would appreciate that. In the book, they touched on scriptures that proclaim the good things the Bible says about us. These enclosed, “accepted by God, God loves me unconditionally, God is with us, God gives me favor", and much more.
In the book, Joyce shared her story about how she was rejected. She covered at least five different areas in which she felt rejected. She dealt with her classmates not accepting her when she couldn’t afford a Halloween costume. She had to wear a cheap wolf mask and was referred to as the ugly wolf. The other girls were dressed up fancy and looked like princesses. Another rejection was by her own father. The rejection was caused the sexual abuse he did to her. He showed her pornography in elementary school and worked on grooming her. She constantly lived in fear on when he would cause her harm again. She was rejected as a child. She also was rejected by the church. She was told she wasn’t a good teacher and she didn’t have the proper education. She was also a woman. She chose to not to allow the rejections to stop her from going after her purpose.
Ginger discussed her rejection. She discovered that her husband of many years was secretly struggling with pornography. She noticed that he was angrier and she felt like something was bothering him. She discovered pornography being deliver in their mail box. They argued and later he broke down and confessed. He struggled with it since he was a young boy but he kept it from her for years. She explained how she was able to heal and to deal with the rejection and pain.
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is battling rejection and they are tired of being burden down by the pain. I really liked how they switch different authors throughout the chapters to keep it fresh and to get two different perspectives on the topic and experiences with rejections and how they healed. The teaching and lessons in this book will assist you in overcoming the roots of rejection. There is a special lean in closer section filled with questions to help readers to go even deeper into the material.
“I received this book free from the publisher for my honest review.”
