Stumbling Toward Wholeness

Stumbling Toward Wholeness
How the Love of God Changes Us
(Tyndale, 2018)

WHO: Andrew J. Bauman, a licensed mental health counselor.

HE SAYS: “When we know both our greatest depravity and our highest glory, we can celebrate the goodness and wholeness of redemption—not because we have escaped suffering, but because we have lived to tell our stories of shame, betrayal and reunion.”

THE BIG IDEA: Spiritual growth and life transformation happens by returning regularly to God.

THE PROGRESSION:
Using the parable of the Prodigal Son as the foundation for this book, the author begins by examining the story from three perspectives—the father, the younger son and the older son—and relating them to our experiences.

“Because of God within us, transformative healing is not only possible but attainable.”
