Do you struggle with letting go of the past? Do you need encouragement and answers for your pain? Or do you long to meet someone who understands what you're going through? Melanie Shull knows what it's like to strive in silence. To hide in guilt and shame. To feel alone. To live with deep wounds.

But Melanie has learned that forgiveness is the key to setting us free from a past of pain, and it's what releases the flow of God's indescribable joy through our lives. She wants you to discover this key too. In Unlocked Hearts, Unleased Joy: Forgiveness is the Key, Melanie uses her storytelling talents to reveal Jesus as the healer of our wounds. This life-changing book can help you to forgive, experience healing, and live in joy.

"This is the Bible study you've been looking for. The theme of forgiveness is intricately woven into each chapter through Melanie Shull's own story and through needy, desperate, or imperfect Bible characters who came face to face with truth. You'll find an emphasis on getting answers from God's Word, and you'll discover how to make choices based on biblical wisdom. I highly recommend it." --Carol Kent, director of the Speak Up Conference; speaker; author of He Holds My Hand: Experiencing God's Presence and Protection.
