Your Journey from Broken to Blessed

Why didn’t they love me? And am I still not worth loving?

Growing up without experiencing loving parental attachment leaves lasting pain. Moving past the hurt can seem impossible when unanswered questions linger and the effects of brokenness in your family remain. But even if you never experienced a loving relationship with your parents, you can receive the emotional and spiritual healing you crave.

In Your Journey from Broken to Blessed, John Trent and Kari Trent Stageberg, authors of The Blessing, offer guidance on how to break negative emotional cycles and provide practical steps toward healing, hope, and receiving the blessing you never experienced before. Discover how to recognize and affirm your worth, find freedom from past hurt, and know forgiveness by experiencing God’s love and blessing.

This helpful book includes:

Engaging true stories to demonstrate key points, Practical steps toward healing and wholeness, A month-long action plan to receive, give, and live the Blessing.

Find healing, grace, and empowerment to end the negative emotional cycle and instead, experience God’s love and blessing, then share it with others!
