"If you or someone you know is experiencing physical, emotional, or psychological pain, this book is for you. It will answer your questions, acknowledge your anguish, deepen your walk with God, assist in understanding the power of scars, and place you on a path of acceptance and healing."--Carol Kent, executive director of Speak Up Ministries, speaker, and author of When I Lay My Isaac Down

"While we wish for a pain-free life, the dark seasons are where God invites us into the most growth. In the pages of this book, you will come to understand how God uses pain in powerful ways. If you're human, you need this book."--Jill Savage, host of the No More Perfect Podcast and author of No More Perfect Marriages

"We all have them--scars, that is--but few of us realize that these scars might just represent our finest hour. Dr. Michelle Bengtson teaches us to display our scars for God's glory rather than hide them, ignore them, or feel shame because of them. I read every word of Sacred Scars and felt hope return to my weary soul because I have scars too, and yet I haven't always known what to do with them. Now, because of Michelle's perspective, I will view my scars as the vehicle through which I am invited into his presence, where there is always fullness of joy." --Carol McLeod, speaker, bestselling author of Rooms of a Mother's Heart and Meanwhile, and host of the Significant Women podcast
