With decades of experience helping heal hearts broken by trauma and pain, Larry Mackey presents readers with his wisdom and insights. He has found through his work at Bountyfull House in Vancouver that narrative storytelling is a therapeutic tool. When people engage in telling their own story and pay attention to the Gospel story, breakthroughs occur and wonderful things happen. Larry Mackey approaches his topic of healing and spirituality not as a detached professional, but as a "wounded healer," one who personally has experienced the depths of pain and brokenness. He invites us to read and enter into the stories of Bountyfull Healing - narratives of despair and hope, pain and healing.
