Self-injury is a growing topic among teens and twentysomethings, but especially among young teen girls. Jan Kern addresses cutting and other forms of self-injury by sharing the story of a girl who once self-injured. Scars That Wound, Scars That Heal is a inside look at self-injury.

It’s compassionate. It’s in-depth with quotes and insight from those who self-injure(d), those who love them, and those who are professionals in the field.

Kern takes it a step deeper by addressing the spiritual need that someone who is cutting may need to hear–God loves you and He’s not going anywhere just because you struggle with self-injury.

This is an excellent resource for pastors, youth pastors, parents, youth staff, and those who self-injure and want to find their way out.

Five Stars!
