It’s the feeling of being undersized … or oversized … or klutzy … or less than beautiful. Of being a nerd … or a geek … or just, somehow, different.

It’s knowing you are vulnerable-and someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable.

It’s the fraternity you never wanted to join-the fellowship of the wounded spirit.

And bestselling novelist Frank Peretti is a member, too.

This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It’s the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school-especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood. No wonder he found himself relating to movie monsters who were hated but also feared-and who eventually exacted a bloody revenge on their tormentors!

In Peretti’s case, deliverance eventually came-through time, through prayer, through a teacher’s caring intervention, and his own willingness to seek help. But he has never forgotten what life was like at the bottom of the junior high foodchain.

Only in Christ, Peretti reminds, is there hope for the wounded spirits-but that hope is powerful enough to change everything.
