Product Description

Book Description
Dr. John Townsend helps you to explore the hiding patterns you've developed in dealing with your emotions and guides you toward the healing grace and truth that God has built into safe, connected relationships.

From the Back Cover
When you experience emotional injury, fear, shame, or pride your first impulse is to hide the hurting parts of yourself from God, others, even yourself. Often you've learned these hiding patterns during childhood to protect yourself in a threatening environment. The problem is that when you hide your injuries and frailties, you isolate yourself from the very things you need in order to heal and mature. What served as protection for a child becomes a prison to an adult. In Hiding from Love, Dr. John Townsend helps you to explore thoroughly the hiding patterns you've developed and guides you toward the healing grace and truth that God has built into safe, connected relationships with himself and others. You'll discover: The difference between "good" and "bad" hiding, Why you hide the broken parts of your soul from the God who can heal them, How to be free to make mistakes without fear of exposing your failures and imperfections, How to obtain the joy and wholeness God intends you to have through healthy bonding with others. Hiding from Love will take you on a journey of discovery toward healing, connected relationships, and a new freedom and joy in living.

5.0 out of 5 stars Free your heart and soul, 4 Feb 2003
I have so far worked through most of this book which is aimed specifically at those of us who, due to traumatic events in our past, find it impossible to trust others and to allow them to get close to us (Hiding from Love). The book takes you through the biblical text and examples of how God wants us to be and actually tells and shows us how to learn the skills and abilities within ourselves and in dealing correctly with others in a manner anyone can understand. If you are someone who is lonely and a loner 'by nature' then let this book set you free from that bondage. Within a month of starting to work through the question and answer sections of this book I found myself reaching out to people in a way I have never been capable of doing before. I have great hope for the future and in the knowledge that the way I am learning is the way God would have me be.
Best of all about this book is that it does not beat you with the scriptures but leads you to freedom at your own pace and in a way that you can, if you don't want to make this journey alone, share with other people one-to-one or in groups if that is helpful to you.
My best wishes to any other 'Hiders from Love' out there. God bless you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing and Inspirational, 29 April 2009
By Mrs. Geraldine Mee "daughterofzion" (Leicestershire, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hiding from Love is an amazing book and showed up my hiding patterns and also revealed ways to come out of hiding. I am still using it and would reccomend it to anyone. I also have the work book and the combination of the two are amazing. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I believe it will release alot of people from the unneccessary pain they are going through and will allow them peace and the courage to move forward as healthy, whole adults. Henry McCloud and John Townsend are sensitive and insightful writers and communicate the truth with love, the way the Lord wants it. I love their work. Agape Love, Geri Mee
