It has been said that if you scratch under the surface of a cynic you will find a wounded idealist. For many idealistic Christians, life can turn out to be significantly harder than expected. The church, marriage, parenting, health, finances and relationships can end up becoming sources of disappointment and disillusionment, and despite their best efforts, these older Christians can become increasingly cynical. The Healing of a Wounded Idealist, provides an empathetic look at life as a Christian idealist, a sober view as to what wounds idealists and a practical guide for the Christian cynic back to faith.
