Love Like You've Never Been Hurt

Hope, Healing and the Power of an Open Heart

By: Jentezen Franklin, Cheris Franklin - contributor

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

Powerful, vulnerable teaching from a New York Times best-selling author

The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do.

Sharing his own story of personal pain, pastor and New York Times best-selling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love. Through biblical and modern-day stories, he discusses different types of relational disappointment and heartache, and answers questions such as Why should I trust again? and How can I ever really forgive?

The walls we build around our hearts to cut us off from pain are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing, and feeling love. Here are the tools and inspiration you need to tear down those walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships, and learn to love like you've never been hurt.

Narrator tolerable

I typically don’t like listening to books narrated by someone else other than the author, but this one was tolerable.

Life changing!

I was amazed at how he was able to speak to this issue and how encouraged I was that there is hope. A must hear book.

Great Book

Loved this book... great information for sure!!! I would definitely recommend it to others who may need it...

Love Never Fails & Forgiveness

Honestly, everything that I heard I really needed to hear sometimes it’s hard to grasp how to love someone or even to forgive, but after listening to this, it just really reinforces that that is what God would have us to do and it’s really been encouraging to me

Healing Journey

I received Christ in 1999, not growing up in Church or reading the Bible was new and exciting. I thought getting hurt, used and abused was over upon choosing to follow Jesus. Well life kept hurting me…in 2018 another relationship ended. In 2020 I heard the Lord say go back to your roots, those roots were revealed in 2022. Many events took place in 2021 that helped the digging up of the roots from childhood. The last 3 years I have been on this healing journey of my emotions, mind, heart and spirit. All to prepare me to receive the message in this book. I love the last few sentences as I have felt flatlined and asked the Holy Spirit to resuscitate me. In February of 2018 I was apart of a ladies group that had us do vision boards. All that was on mine was the word Resurrection with my drawing of a yellow cross, a red heart in the center and a lamppost sticker down the center, with the words “seek ye first the Kingdom of God” and “thy word is a lamp unto my feet” written at the foot of the cross. The Holy Spirit sure did drive up into my driveway and has been working hard to revive me. Thank you Pastor Franklin for this wonderful book! I ordered a physical copy earlier today as I also like to read and flip actual pages too. I may listen and read along like I did with John Bevere’s book The Awe of God. The little girl in me loves reading along.
