Those who minister in contexts of trauma hear stories of personal struggle and tragedy almost daily. We have heard Christ's promise that he is present in these stories, but where? And how can we gently and safely invite others to find Jesus, connect deeply with Him, and be healed of their greatest pains?  How can we walk with Jesus on our own journeys of healing?

Dorothy Mathieson and her husband, George, have spent decades developing the LIFE story healing process in order to give a practical, reliable answer to that aching question. Decades of ministry first in the world's poorest communities, then with international students from countries hostile to Christianity, and then with weary and overburdened ministers, provided the foundation for this unique prayer rhythm.

Now, Dorothy offers this Jesus-centered story healing process to those beyond the reach of her Australia-based ministry. This general-audience book can help both ministers and laity become a healing presence for their neighbors—not through therapy or good advice, but through listening and prayer in the presence of Jesus. Dorothy invites us all into a life of healing and joy in Jesus.
