Wounded Soliders:
For many years you have been in the midst of spiritual battle and thought no one cared for you. You became wounded and hurt; you became a wounded soldier for the Lord.
This book looks at how you and others have been treated and how you can be helped to recover. As a Pastor, it saddens me to see hurt Christians come into my church from other battle fields. I also, wonder how many of my soldiers were in some other pastor's office because I had neglected them!
It is my prayer that this book will open your mind to how we as Christians sometimes hurt those who are doing the most for us.
