Before You were wounded: Recovering the Person God Created to Be

Before you learned to survive, perform, hide, or become what others needed, God created you with an identity, a gift, and a purpose.Before You Were Wounded: Recovering the Person God Created You to Be is a faith-centered journey into the person who existed before rejection, trauma, disappointment, addiction, abandonment, and the demands of survival reshaped the story.Through biblical insight, personal reflection, recovery wisdom, and the Twelve Tribes Identity System, Delores Jordan helps readers recognize the relationship between their God-given gifts, their deepest wounds, and the calling that continues to emerge through their lives.

It invites readers to move beyond labels, reconnect with their original design, and begin healing with honesty, faith, and intention.Your wounds influenced your story, but they do not have the authority to define your identity. God shaped you. Your tribe reflects His purpose. Discover your gift. Heal your story. Fulfill your assignment.
