Hurt, disappointment, waiting longer than expected, and church hurt can all lead us down the path of deep-seated discouragement. What do you do when you feel all hope is lost and you can’t see your way out? How do you heal without an apology? Why do you have to wait so much longer than everyone else? How do you recover when the place that was supposed to heal you only hurt you further? In the book Crushed, Dr. Samaria gives the reader a different perspective on life’s disappointments. She teaches us how the plan of God is at work in everything, even our discouragement. She gives us the strategy to heal.
