What if your story didn't have to end in pain?
Your wounds are constantly whispering to you, shaping how you see yourself, what you believe you're worth, and what you expect from your future. But what if another voice could speak louder? What if that voice could retell your story so that hope—not trauma—had the final word?
Through trauma research, biblical accounts, and personal narrative, licensed counselor Abigail Sweeney shows readers there is hope and healing in the emotional, spiritual, and physiological dimensions of trauma. Drawing from the stories of eighteen people in Scripture and her own experience, Sweeney introduces readers to wounded people who encounter a God who sees them, meets them in their pain, and has the power to radically heal and beautifully redeem. At the center is Jesus, the One who invites us toward healing and greater resilience.
In Hope Beyond the Hurt, Sweeney offers:
a holistic, trauma-informed framework for healing grounded in research and biblical truth.
personal narrative of complex trauma that offers an authentic, relatable journey that resonates with readers
who feel isolated in their suffering.
Scripture as a healing lens, revealing how God meets us in our wounds and leads us toward restoration.
Discover how God heals what trauma tried to steal.
