Wounded in the House of Friends: Healing from Church Hurt and Religious Trauma: Finding Wholeness Where You Were Broken (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798288275944)

Wounded in the House of Friends is a powerful, compassionate, and biblically grounded guide for anyone who has experienced deep pain in spiritual spaces. Written from the heart of a theologian, senior pastor, and licensed mental health counselor, this book speaks directly to the wounds caused by betrayal, control, or neglect within the church.

Each chapter walks readers through a healing journey-acknowledging their trauma, dismantling shame, and rediscovering a faith rooted in grace, truth, and restoration. Using biblical examples, clinical insight, and pastoral wisdom, Johnny Riley Jr. helps readers name their pain, reclaim their identity, and ultimately find purpose in what once broke them.

This is not just a book about surviving church hurt. It's about healing through it, rising from it, and being commissioned to bring healing to others. Whether you're questioning your faith, rebuilding your trust, or learning to forgive, this book will meet you where you are-and walk with you into wholeness.
