Ointment Poured Forth

What do you do when something in your life has been broken, and you cannot simply put it back together?What do you do with the pain you have carried for years? With the relationship that never recovered? With the person you have struggled to forgive? With the mistakes you wish you could undo? With the seasons that left you asking God questions you still cannot answer?And what happens when you have learned how to continue living, but you know you have not truly healed?OINTMENT POURED FORTH was written for that place.
Nicholas A. Lawrence takes the reader through ten realities that shape the Christian journey: healing, restoration, recovery, reconciliation, forgiveness, mercy, favor, blessings, peace, and the eternal pathway. But this is not simply a collection of Christian teachings. It is an invitation to look honestly at the places where life has wounded you and allow God to meet you there. Because healing is not always about what happened to your body.
Sometimes the heart needs healing. Sometimes your faith needs healing. Sometimes your relationship with God needs healing. Sometimes you need to recover parts of yourself that were buried beneath years of disappointment, regret, rejection, or pain. Restoration is not always getting back what you lost. Sometimes it is becoming whole again without it. Forgiveness is not pretending that the offence did not matter.
Mercy is not getting what you deserve. Peace is not the absence of trouble. And blessing is not measured only by what you possess. These are truths that become clearer when they are lived, not merely preached. Through Scripture and careful reflection, this book brings the reader face to face with the God who still heals, restores, forgives, shows mercy, gives favor, blesses His people, and leads them into peace.
If you are carrying an old wound, this book will speak to you. If you are rebuilding after loss, it will speak to you. If someone has hurt you and you are struggling to let go, it will speak to you. If you have made mistakes and wonder whether your story can still be redeemed, it will speak to you. If you have experienced God's blessings but somehow lost your peace along the way, it will speak to you.
And if you have reached a point where you simply want to know God more deeply and walk with Him beyond the temporary things of this life, it will speak to you. Some seasons leave scars. Some relationships leave questions. Some losses change us. But none of these things are beyond the reach of God. There is still mercy for the fallen. There is still forgiveness for the repentant. There is still healing for the wounded.
There is still restoration for what has been broken. There is still peace for the troubled heart. And there is still a way forward. OINTMENT POURED FORTH is a book to read when you are ready to stop carrying everything alone and allow God to do His work in the places you have struggled to repair yourself. Read it with an open heart. Read it slowly. And let the ointment reach the places that need it most.
