For generations, the Church has celebrated Abraham's obedience on Mount Moriah-the father who raised the knife, the God who provided the ram, the son who survived the altar. We've built entire theologies around radical faith and sacrificial surrender. But we've never preached what came next.

Sarah died immediately after Isaac's near-sacrifice. Isaac withdrew into his mother's tent and never truly led his family. Rebekah manipulated the blessing because her husband was too passive to discern. Jacob and Esau's rivalry fractured a nation. The promise survived, but the family collapsed under the weight of unhealed trauma.

The ram stopped the sacrifice. But it didn't stop the trauma.

In The Mountain, the Mother, and the Wound, Dr. Delisa Rodgers delivers a prophetic correction to triumph-only theology that celebrates deliverance while ignoring emotional aftermath. Drawing on biblical scholarship, Hebrew insights, and trauma-informed ministry, she exposes the hidden cost paid by Abraham's family-and reveals how those same patterns still fracture covenant families today.

This is not an attack on faith. It's a completion of it. It's the missing piece that explains why believers can quote Scripture fluently but struggle to connect emotionally, why leaders can prophesy accurately but can't rest, why covenant families look anointed in public but are fractured in private.

Because we've been taught to survive the altar-but not to heal from it.

If you've passed the test but still carry the wound, if obedience cost you more than anyone acknowledged, if your family is repeating patterns no one will name-this book is your roadmap to healing what deliverance alone cannot fix.

God never wanted a traumatized promise. He wanted a healed lineage.
