Understanding Trauma

In Understanding Trauma , Steve Midgley wisely and compassionately guides and leads the reader into a deeper understanding of this devastating experience. Midgley sensitively writes in such a way that the reader comes away with compassionate insight into what trauma victims experience. He discerningly shares secular insights on the experience of trauma and follows on from this to provide a loving biblical perspective on it. As well as providing insights, he also gives pointers for how churches can support and care for people who have gone through this terrible experience. I highly recommend this book.

Disrupted Journey by Nate Brooks

People in the West typically consider happiness, comfort, health, and good relationships normal in life. When someone’s experience does not fit the mould, it can add to the pain and isolation that they are already suffering. In Disrupted Journey: Walking with Your Loved One Through Chronic Pain and Illness, Nate Brooks shares in deeply honest ways about his journey with his wife’s chronic pain. Brooks helpfully covers our expectations of life, disappointments, navigating life changes, and how to handle suffering. When tackling how to handle suffering, he speaks honestly about his struggles and how he experiences his faith. He also gives helpful examples from biblical characters and the importance of friendships with wise people. This short book is excellent for people experiencing unexpected pain and turmoil and searching for light and hope for the unknown path ahead. If you are interested in the book, you can find it here
