by Barbara Shlemon Ryan

Focusing on healing for the seven major stage 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.
