Reviews

Awesome! From the very onset of Healing the Heart, there is the ever-painful reminder of the horrendous effects of betrayal. Closeted homosexuality, also known as living on the downlow, is a destructive, cancerous spirit that often leaves families disillusioned, devastated, and ultimately destroyed. But thanks be unto God--not Joan Hunter, nor her children. Not only does Joan passionately give her readers the intimate
details of her journey to restoration and healing, but she also gives insightful principles for the same healing anyone can receive--a supernatural healing from God--a healing of the heart!
--Pastor Michael A. Stevens, Sr., Author of Straight Up: The Church's Official Response to the Epidemic of Downlow Living

Everyone...absolutely everyone...has experienced a "dark time" and wondered when--or if--it would ever end. Joan Hunter knows that feeling all too well. In Healing the Heart, she shares the pain of marital betrayal and the shocking discovery that her own husband was gay. This book doesn't pull any punches; it's an honest, revealing account of how one woman arose from deep despair to live in ultimate victory.Read her story and find triumph for yours!
--Marilyn Hickey, Founder and President of Marilyn Hickey Ministries

Joan Hunter is an amazing blend of strength and vulnerability. It is impossible to read her story without being inspired, challenged, and encouraged. Healing the Heart is a must-read for everyone who is experiencing crisis in their marriage, health, or finances. Joan overcame all of these and now reveals how she did it. Her book is a catalyst for conquering defeat

Knowing the truth and living out that truth are two entirely different things as Joan Hunter demonstrates in this book. It must be the power of the Holy Spirit that has wrought this miracle in Joan. Her testimony is a great encouragement.
--Sheryl Dawson, President, Dawson Consulting Firm

What a joy to see the Lord's powerful redemption in Joan's life! Because she has overcome, she now has a deep well of compassion and anointing from which to minister to broken people. Read on...these pages will inspire you to arise from your ashes and see what God will do with your redeemed life!
--Melva Lea Beacham, Director of International Development, Christian Friends of Israel-Jerusalem

Wow! This new book by Joan Hunter will change your life. In this powerfully transparent and real-life testimony you'll be moved beyond words as you read how she overcame unthinkable circumstances through the healing power of forgiveness. Joan shares that Jesus Christ is the source of
all our physical, mental, and emotional healing. Not only does she reveal the need for us to get free but unlocks key strategies of how we and our families can get free from our circumstances and stay free. This book is a must-read for all who work as counselors or advisors and for those who find themselves in similar circumstances.
