Healing Wounds Hidden in Plain Sight
Written by Dr. Ron Campbell and New York Times bestselling author Ron Brackin, the book opens with a simple question. Scripture records God laughing out loud only three times, all in the Psalms, yet joy is threaded throughout the whole story.
Across thirty-one short chapters, Dr. Campbell walks through familiar accounts: Noah, Babel, Joseph, Balaam's talking donkey, Esther, Daniel, Jesus, and Revelation.
Each chapter retells the moment with warmth and wit, then closes with a short, honest prayer, reading less like a study and more like a friendly talk with God.

A Trustworthy Guide Through the Heavy Terrain
