No Place to Cry: The Hurt and Healing of Sexual Abuse
by Doris Vanstone Erwin W. LutzerJeremiah knew that healing was possible. God's name is Jehovah Rapha, which means the God who heals, and God has a balm, a healing salve--His Word. That's why Jeremiah was dismayed. He knew that there was no wound or hurt so great, so horrible, so seemingly destructive that our sovereign God could not heal it. He is God, the God of all flesh, and nothing is too hard for Him. If there is any story that will illustrate this truth, you will find it within the covers of No Place to Cry.
