Rebuilding Trust: Finding Healing in Broken Places (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243423618)

This Christian Bible study book explores the anatomy of broken trust with honesty, compassion, and biblical depth, guiding readers through the painful realities that arise when trust is shattered in relationships, institutions, or even within the church. It begins by naming the wounds-disappointment, betrayal, shame, and guilt-while gently leading readers to find God's presence in the pain. Through Scripture and thoughtful reflection, the study helps readers understand how broken trust impacts the heart and faith, and how God meets His people in those places with truth, comfort, and hope.

As the journey continues, the book emphasizes the freedom found in forgiveness-not as excusing harm, but as releasing the debt and entrusting justice to God. Readers learn how to establish healthy, biblical boundaries that allow love to be expressed with wisdom and discernment. Special attention is given to rebuilding trust as a process of restoration, especially after spiritual wounds caused by church hurt, helping readers rediscover faith in God even when His people have failed.

In its final sections, the study invites readers to move beyond personal healing into purposeful living. By identifying hidden burdens of shame and guilt and surrendering them to God's forgiveness, readers experience true freedom and renewed identity in Christ. The book ultimately calls believers to become people of trust-living as agents of restoration and "wounded healers" who, having encountered God's grace firsthand, are equipped to walk alongside others and help them find healing, freedom, and hope.
