 Heart-Piercing Truth that Opens the Door to Healing April 28, 2008
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wanting to work through past sexual abuse (REQUIRES A WILLINGNESS TO STRUGGLE DEEPLY) or to understand the struggle of a loved one. Dan Allender writes with authority and gentle understanding. This book and the accompanying workbook have been incredibly valuable to me in dealing with my past abuse and understanding how to support other women who want to find healing. This should be a must read for pastors, counselors and anyone who is actively ministering to people.
The Wounded Heart April 22, 2008
The condition of the copies I ordered were pristine, and the speed with wich I received my order was very fast. I would and do recomend this vendor and Amazon to everyone.
Wonderful Book! April 7, 2008
This book broke open my heart for healing! An incredible writing of truth and got me in touch with my past that I was in denial about and my life today! I recommend it for anyone who is the least bit suspicious of sexual abuse in their past childhood.

I am so thankful for this book and the workbook. God has used this book, in my life, to reveal things within me that I did not know were there. I now realize that I went through life constantly protecting myself and functioning in a way that was completely unhealthy. My recommendation, to you, is do not pick up this book, unless you truely desire to be healed from the wounds of your past. Sometimes, before we can be healed, we have to be strong and be willing to face ourselves in entirety. It will take courage and strength. I would also recommend this book for anyone whose spouse or friend has been abused. It will allow a deeper understanding into what they are going through. I also believe that this book/workbook would be helpful to someone who has not been sexually abused, but has maybe been exposed to other types of abuse (mental,verbal, emotional, neglect) in their childhood.
 some help, but very negative February 26, 2008

There are some insightful points made in this book, but it seems to turn every issue the survivor has into their own sinful shortcomings. Whether this has any basis or not it leaves the reader feeling completely invalidated, condemned, and frustrated. There is very little said that is compassionate. Also, the author tries too hard to impress the reader with his vocabulary in a very unpoetic way that is irritating beyond belief. On the Threshold of Hope is much kinder to survivors and offers more hope for healing and restoration.
