When trying to help ourselves or others, the Bible is a fountain of information and guidance. But to many, it can be overwhelming and intimidating. As a result, important and helpful road maps to a better life can be overlooked. It doesn't have to be that way. In Lord, I Need to Hear Your Voice, Dr. Patricia Allison provides a guide for women searching for God's voice through redemption, forgiveness, and inner healing. An instructional section guides leaders called to work with women living in crisis and searching for God's voice. For these leaders, the study introduces useful background information about choices that lead women to developing harmful habits, which eventually cause a breakdown in relationships and/or personal loss. Allison also incorporates instructional elements for group members and leaders to develop an understanding of how Scripture serves as the paramount guide for making life changes. The study takes participants from understanding sin to repentance, forgiveness, and ultimately reconciliation with God and others as they experience the joy of inner peace and healing. In Lord, I Need to Hear Your Voice, Allison provides a tool for Christian women to come together as a community of learners, searching for emotional healing through a closer relationship with Christ. You will learn of His unconditional love for His children and how you, too, can be cleansed as a new creation in Christ.
