INNER HEALING is about being transparent with God, ourselves and others to release the hurt, pain, and shame suffered from past experiences; to be healed inwardly. Deep wounds are sustained from family, friends, associates, strangers, and are even self-inflicted, but in order to be made whole it is necessary to remove the superficial covers that are used. Past hurts, pain, and suffering from abuse, rejection, abandonment, generational curses, false accusations, social injustices and unhealthy relationships has to be exposed and dealt with; to reach your potential and avoid wounding others. Understand it is important to receive help in many situations to be set free. Band-aids, medications or other superficial cover-ups are temporary, but deliverance and healing that comes through the anointing (presence and power), of God is permanent. You will develop a genuine expression of love for God, self and others. Dr. Gwendolyn A. Washington is an ordained minister and has been involved in the ministry of healing for over twenty years.

The trials of life can become the vehicle God uses to get you to your place of destiny. If you accept every situation that comes your way with the assurance of God's promise, ""all things work together for good to them that love God"" (Romans 8: 28), you can be more patient and peaceful through each trial, knowing that He will eventually bring you to a wealthy place. Here, then, is the story of one's woman's trial by fire and what God did to set her above and not beneath. In the end, she came forth "as pure gold." If you know that God has called you, chosen you before the foundation of the world, this book will be a strength and encouragement to your life.
