This book, Essential Keys to Healing a Wounded Heart, accompanies the reader on a journey of renewing their mind with God's Word in the areas of grace (undeserved favor), mercy and the kind and loving nature of God. [A child] growing into adulthood does not guarantee their maturity; mentally or emotionally. Old hurts do not automatically go away. If a person tries to bury the pain instead of recognizing it and moving on through the steps to receive the needed mental and emotional healing, the issues tend to resurface and are passed on to the next generation in one way or another.Mental and emotional pain often begins in one generation and if the parent does not receive healing, then, like all unhealed inner wounds, they tend to become multigenerational, being passed down from one generation to the next, until someone breaks the cycle. From the Author, Kelly Evans Rowe: "It didn't happen overnight, but God has brought mental and emotional healing into my life and I hope to be able to impart that to others through the pages of this book."
