Wisdom in the wound
How God Uses Your Past to Shape Who You’re Becoming
By Tony Miltenberger
If you’ve ever wrestled with pain, disappointment, or failure and wondered if anything good could come from it—Wisdom in the Wound is for you. In this powerful and personal book, Tony Miltenberger invites readers to rethink their wounds not as setbacks, but as sacred starting points for transformation. Blending real-life stories, biblical insight, and practical reflection, Wisdom in the Wound offers a fresh, hope-filled lens on emotional healing and leadership. It’s an ideal read for anyone seeking clarity, courage, and deeper purpose—whether you're lounging by the pool or navigating life’s tougher waters.
Wisdom in the Wound is a practical, honest, and needed conversation to grow in ways I didn’t think possible. It’s great for individuals, but with the exercises at the end of each chapter, I think it will be an invaluable in communities of people desiring more freedom in their lives.
