She's seen slave dungeons in Ghana. Genocide in Rwanda. Systemic sexual abuse in Brazil. Child abuse and domestic violence in the US. After forty years of counseling abuse survivors around the world, Dr. Diane Langberg, a world renowned trauma expert, remains certain that what trauma destroys, Christ can and does restore. This book will convince you, too, of the healing heart of God. But it's not a fast process, instead much patience is required from family, friends, and counselors as they wisely and respectfully help victims unpack their traumatic suffering through talking, tears, and time. And it's not a process that can be separated from the work of God in both a counselor and counselee. Dr. Langberg calls all of those who wish to help sufferers to model Jesus's sacrificial love and care in how they listen, love, and guide. The heart of God is revealed to sufferers as they grow to understand the cross of Christ and how their God came to this earth and experienced such severe suffering that he too is "well-acquainted with grief." The cross of Christ is the lens that transforms and redeems traumatic suffering and its aftermath, not only for the sufferer, but it also transforms those who walk with the suffering. This book will be a great help to anyone who loves, listens to, and seeks to help someone impacted by trauma and abuse. There is no quick fix, but there is the hope for healing through the love of God in Christ.

A Woman Through and Through In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work.

Hope is something that everyone must have in their life, for without it all would be lost. As a Christian have you ever felt hopeless and nothing you did seemed to matter? Did you ever find yourself wanting to quit God and go back to the world? Sad to say, too many of us have been tempted with these thoughts and still worse many have returned to the world, because they have lost their hope. Hopelessness is real. People are waking up to the fact that dead religious ceremonies and clichés have not helped them with life's real problems. They are now desperate for God's real answers and God always has a ram in the bush. HOPE is here! This book attempts to address some of those real issues, which we all have faced in our Christian walk, and provide some tools, which we can use to restore our faith. Dr. Steven Dohoney is the Founder and President of Open Heaven Ministry Church and Acts of Kindness, Inc. located in Andalusia, AL, where he's served as Pastor for over twelve years.

When no hope is left, to whom should we turn? Through the words of Jesus as He was dying on the Cross, Jack Hayford unfolds the secret of triumphing over the ultimate season of suffering. Establishing a framework for dealing with hardship, Hope for a Hopeless Day challenges readers to examine the way they handle trials and encourages them to focus on the power that frees—the cross. Here are real-life stories of individuals who triumphed over their “hopeless days.” Readers will be heartened by their stories of bravery and integrity—even while facing the anguish of marital infidelity or financial collapse. Although facing what seems like insurmountable odds, “we are called to hope just as surely as we are called to the Cross, for the Savior who speaks there is teaching us the way to live as surely as He is dying to give us life.” Hope for a Hopeless Day does more than encourage you to endure; it inspires you to overcome.
