Church Hurt is Real but so is Healing!
We as a church have failed our communities. The church is meant to be a place of refuge, solitude, growth, community, and fellowship. Instead we have turned it into a place that people run away from. Yes church hurt is real, but it's time to HEAL and restore God's original design of His church.
This is more than a book, this is a healing movement!
In this book we talk about the realities of why people are experiencing church hurt. We share testimonies of real people, with real experiences, and how they have overcome their church hurt and are now serving the masses in a mighty way.
We take a look at 10 common examples of church hurt experiences and how to overcome them. I expose what church really IS and what it is NOT. And then we take a journey of transformation of healing the body, as well as the church. By the end of this book you will know what it feels like to forgive, to move forward in freedom, and my hope is that you will seek to BE the church, not just attend it.

About the Author
Hi! I'm Phyllis. A mother, an author, pastor and army veteran. In my time of service in different churches I have seen a lot. I've seen people the church hurt, angry, confused, frustrated and ready to give up on life. I've even left a couple of churches myself. What I have learned is that people come into the church one way, and as a body, it is our job to ensure they leave changed. Yet, we are human beings and we come up short at times. In the church, coming up "short" can be detrimental. That's why God put this book on my heart. If you're reading this and you are a victim of church hurt, I want you to know you are not alone. This book comes from my heart to yours and I pray you receive the healing your spirit needs to rise up and be all that God has created you to be. Don't let church hurt stop you. Remember, church hurt is real, but so is Healing.
