Have you ever been mistreated or had your feelings hurt by someone at church or in a Christian homeschool group, or a dear friend or relative? How do you deal with that pain? To be more accurate, how can God help you deal with it?

Writer Anne Graham Lotz has some suggestions. I’ve read several of her books and they’ve all been good, but I especially liked Wounded by God’s People. In it, she uses the Biblical story of Hagar, the slave who Sarah urged her husband Abraham to impregnate in order to hasten God’s promise of nation-building.

Mrs. Lotz is a gifted writer, and is also very empathetic when it comes to her subjects. I learned a lot from this book, and I think others will, too. Definitely worth your time!
