Understanding Trauma : A Biblical Introduction For Church Care
$16.99
Many of us long to serve and be there for those who are suffering from trauma, but we don’t know how to do so in a way that is caring and helpful.
This book enables Christians, and especially pastors, elders and ministry leaders, to understand what trauma is, and how it affects people, including their experience of church, so that we can lovingly support those who are suffering from it.
Author Steve Midgley trained as a psychiatrist before being ordained, served as Vicar of Christ Church Cambridge for 18 years and is now the Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK. He writes with wisdom and compassion to summarize current understanding in this area, gives a biblical perspective, and makes lots of practical suggestions about how churches can be sensitive to, and be there for, those who have experienced trauma.
This book will help whole church communities to help and care for those who are struggling with trauma.

Embrace Your Almost
$18.94Not quite where you expected to be? You’re in good company. Now the bestselling author of Own Your Everyday helps you navigate unmet expectations, waiting, and uncertainty with confidence and clarity.
Jordan Lee Dooley knows firsthand how frustrating it can be when you almost achieve a goal, almost reach a dream, and almost get to where you want to be, only to land just short of the finish line or watch it all fall apart at the last minute.
Unmet expectations have a way of making us rethink everything. But perhaps rethinking dreams is not always the worst thing. Why? Because it’s in those moments, when you’re not where you expected to be, that you have a chance to pause and consider what matters most to you as well as redefine what success looks like for you in a world that’s constantly telling you what you should want or should do.

– practical steps to move forward when your plans don’t go according to plan
– how to clarify which goals are right for you to pursue
– what to do when dreams seem to come true for everyone but you
– the unexpected gains that can arise from unwanted pain
– how to know when it’s time to let go of a dream–and what to do with the space left behindLife is filled with unmet expectations, disrupted dreams, uncertainty, and in-between seasons. As hard as those experiences may be, they also offer a unique invitation to align your dreams and goals with what matters most. Learn how you can gain greater clarity about what you truly want, why you want it, and how to begin pursuing it.
