If you have ever purposely injured yourself, it may seem normal, even right. But if you haven't, it seems impossible to understand those who have. After all, don't living creatures avoid pain. Edward T. Welch writes this eye-opening and encouraging booklet assuming that you feel trapped in a cycle of self-injury or that you love someone who does. Welch helps loved ones to understand the self-injurer's world. And if you are the one who feels trapped by this behavior, he lovingly describes a cure that is more attractive than you think.

Just a short booklet, but by far the best thing I have read for Christians dealing with self-injury. I wish that Dr. Welch would write a full-length book on this subject, but this is still the best thing out there that I have found, and I've looked through a lot of stuff on cutting!

This book gives a short but good understanding of why people self-injure and how we should approach God with our self-injuries.
It gives understanding to self-injurers as it helps us understand why we have these desires and also helps us identify what emotions we have when we self injure.
It is also good for an outsider to try and understand self-injury because it gives simple ideas from the Bible and from general life why self-injury is nessasary in peoples lives.
