Wounds come in many forms, and all of us have them—men, women, and children. Some people seem to be able to overcome the wounds; others seem trapped in the despair that wounds cause. Heather inspires her audience to want to pursue joy and offers specific ways to do that ... all the while ministering to their pain with Christ's love.

Some people know they should forgive the one who has hurt them but find themselves unable to do so. Others insist they owe their perpetrator no such dignity. And many live in guilt of their own mistakes. No matter what, all want to be free of the burden of bitterness. Heather acknowledges the injustice of forgiveness while leading people step by step toward the radical, life-giving freedom that it offers.

People say the church is irrelevant or even hurtful. Yet most of us find ourselves inexplicately drawn to it, and our anger towards it is often because deep down we want it to work. The church was designed to meet our need for belonging, service, and worship—and we're all invited to be a part of it. Heather ignites a longing for church renewal as she touches people's hearts with a compassionate call be the Bride of Christ.
