by Barbara Shlemon Ryan

Focusing on healing for the seven major stages of human development—prenatal, birth, infancy, childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, and seasoned citizens—Barbara Shelmon-Ryan describes how long-lasting hurt can occur in one or more stages of life, and how this hurt can manifest itself in another stage.

With a new preface, a new epilogue, and chapters focusing on each stage of development, Ryan offers examples of the types of problems encountered in each stage. A prayer at the end of each chapter helps initiate the healing process. Healing the Hidden Self emphasizes the importance of inner healing for all who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and with others. Its practical, how-to approach makes it an invaluable resource.

After more than 100,000 copies sold, this revised edition updates the 1982 original using new examples, references, and insights gained through Barbara Shlemon-Ryan's beloved ministry.
