Norman Wright helps parents discover a better way of loving-a way that is both biblical and down-to-earth. By practicing the principles he outlines, parents can bring harmony to their homes and move toward the final goal of raising responsible, loving adults. H.

Julie Woodley understands trauma. From physical and sexual abuse as a child, to abortion, the murder of a dear friend, brain injury, a brain tumor, and cancer, as well as two broken marriages, she has experienced more than a lifetime's worth of pain and loss. But by the grace of God, she's doing more than surviving--she's thriving! Like a wildflower thrusting itself through a broken sidewalk, God has raised Julie's joy and hope through the layers of loss and into the light of his plan for her. He has transformed her from a broken receiver of grace into a beautiful blossom who radiates the grace she has received into the lives of other hurting people. Trauma victims often feel weighed down by shame, anger, confusion, and pain. They may be so accustomed to "getting by" that having passion and joy seems impossible. In A Wildflower Thrives in Florida, they will encounter a story that will inspire them to imagine a life restored and overflowing with all the good things God intends for them. "Sometimes, when you meet someone for the first time and hear their story, you shake your head and marvel again at the depth of God's ability to redeem a life. My friend Julie Woodley is one such example. It's a wonder she is still alive, let alone functioning so marvelously in the work God has called her to. A Wildflower Thrives in Florida is about as compelling a story you'll ever read about the reality of God's redemptive work to heal someone from years of trauma, abuse, and destructive behavior."--Joe Battaglia, broadcaster, producer, and author of The Politically Incorrect Jesus and Unfriended: Finding True Community in a Disconnected CultureJulie Woodley is the director of Restoring the Heart Ministries (www.rthm.cc), serving childhood sexual abuse victims and post-abortive women and men.
