Putting Your Past Behind You: Finding Hope for Life’s Deepest Hurts

Addiction. Abuse. Broken relationships. Greed. Gluttony. Gossip. Sexual immorality. Decisions made from fear or despair. Is there a place to begin again?

We can’t go back to the starting line in the race of life. What’s done is done. But we’re not tied to our past mistakes. By following God’s instructions and allowing Him to heal our wounds, we can be freed from the weight of guilt, regret, and bitter heartache.

In Putting Your Past Behind You, Dr. Erwin Lutzer shows how to make a clean break with the past. People just like you have experienced the same trials, addictions, and injustices. Many have traveled beyond the pain to become blessed servants of Christ. God is faithfully standing ready to help, and He uses His people to share in His work of restoration and healing.

Find encouragement, wisdom, and new direction as you experience the blessing of a healed past.
