A Time to Heal
7 Steps to Healing & Forgiveness
Healing doesn’t change your past—but it transforms your tomorrow.
It doesn’t erase the pain, but it rewrites the story. It doesn’t deny what happened, but it declares:
what happened to you does not get the final say.
A Time to Heal is a deeply compassionate, faith-filled guide designed for survivors of childhood sexual abuse and assault who are ready to take the next step—out of survival and into true healing. Through this sacred book, author and Certified Master Coach Rhonda James Woolard invites you into a powerful, spirit-led journey of emotional and spiritual restoration.
In these pages, you’ll find scripture-based wisdom, trauma-informed insights, heartfelt encouragement, and practical tools to support your daily healing. You’ll be reminded that healing is holy. That forgiveness is freedom. And that becoming whole is not only possible—it is your birthright.
If you’ve ever asked, “Will I ever be okay again?”
This book is here to whisper back: Yes, you will. And you already are.
Let this be the beginning of your next chapter.
Let this be your time to heal.

“This book didn’t just speak to me—it spoke for me. For years, I didn’t have the courage to face my story. But page by page, Rhonda held my hand through it. She made me feel like healing was possible. Like God still saw me. I haven’t felt this hopeful in years.”

“There’s something different about A Time to Heal. I’ve read other books on trauma, but this one made me feel less like a project and more like a person. It didn’t just give me steps—it gave me soul. It gave me scripture. It gave me grace.”

“For the first time in my life, I wrote my truth in my journal after reading Chapter 1. I cried harder than I ever have—and I slept through the night for the first time in months. I’m not finished healing, but I finally believe I’ve started.”
