Buoyed by the Word, a clear vision of the healing process and practical suggestions; you will be empowered by Christ, the Balm in Gilead, to bring healing hope to survivors. Abuse and its effects are a widespread and heart-rending problem in the church today. We want to help, but often feel helpless and overwhelmed. In this practical and powerful book, you will learn about abuse, its effects, the stages of healing and what you specifically can do to help victims move from surviving abuse to thriving in Christ. Answer important questions and learn practical methods: How do I know if I'm called to minister to survivors? What principles permeated the healing ministry of Jesus? What is the healing process and how long does it take? How do shame, contempt and powerlessness affect survivors? How can survivors be supported to deal with overwhelming memories and dreams? What scriptures will help survivors change their false self-beliefs? What can I do to support survivors in their anger and grief? How can I help minister the healing salve of self-care, boundaries, forgiveness and spiritual care? How can I create a sacred space and a circle of support for healing? Roberta Fish, LCSW, is a therapist who has been supporting clients in their work of healing from abuse for the last thirty years. She is co-founder of Hope for Hurting Hearts Ministries (hopeforhurtinghearts.com), a healing ministry for abuse survivors. As a retired Professor of Religion and Psychology, she enjoys teaching people about topics that will encourage their learning, growth and ministry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church should be a safe place, right? Then why do so many get hurt there? Ray Beeson and Chris Hayward combine their years of ministry experience to address head-on the elephant in the room: church members and church leaders hurt Christians. All the time. And the long-lasting effects—rejection, shame, despair, loneliness, fear—can be devastating. The authors have witnessed the rise of the “dones,” those who are just done with God thanks to scars from church. With first-person stories of hurt and loss, this book is a wake-up call for any who deny woundedness in the church but is also a redemptive message for any who hurt from church wounds. Leaders and laypeople alike will learn how to grieve over abuse, to leave unhealthy attitudes and patterns that cause pain, and to trust in God’s real, delivering work through churches that build up, not tear down. Thanks to the grace of God, there is always hope beyond the pain.

Book excerpt: Hope is one of the prominent themes of the Bible. Despite Scripture's teaching on the subject, however, the true, biblical meaning of hope is often misunderstood or reduced to mere sentimentalism. Respected author and counselor June Hunt champions the healing power of hope. Stemming from Hunt's ministry, Hope For the Heart, this book speaks on a subject central to her calling. She explains how hope is much more than a vague emotion and specifies the ways it has the power to change lives. Shunning pop psychology and shallow inspirationalism, she instead consistently and faithfully looks at what the Bible says about hope. Each chapter flows from a central Scripture passage and is illustrated by real-life stories. Those experiencing brokenness and hurt will find encouragement and healing as they encounter the hope of the Bible. Written from a counselor's heart, this book will also benefit pastors and others engaged in counseling ministry.

Book excerpt: 'If in these pages you see your own life's experience mirrored in our daughter's, may you, too, find a personal relationship with the same heavenly Father who continues to be her strength, comfort, and joy.' ---From the foreword by Billy Graham When life's rosy dreams dissolve into thorny realities that pierce our hearts, that's when God shows that he specializes in restoration. In this frank, deeply reflective audio book, Ruth Graham, daughter of Billy Graham, lays open the agonizing struggles of a far-from-perfect life---and in so doing, she reveals the perfections of a God who deeply loves hurting, fallible people. In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart searches the Scriptures for help, hope, and guidance to deal with life's blows and our own failures. It reveals that no matter where we are in our journey, God has a use for us and will never turn us away. It also shows how we can offer practical, loving support to the broken hearts that sit in pews all around us every Sunday.

Book excerpt: Everyone has friends or family who suffer from sickness, disability, depression, or the death of a loved one. Often times, the people who love the hurting also struggle in their own unique ways. They tend to suffer in silence and without much support from others. Writing from the unique perspective of one who needs extra help on a daily basis, Dave Furman offers insight into the support, encouragement, and wisdom that people need when helping others. Furman draws on his own life experiences, examples from the Bible, and wisdom from Christians throughout history to address the heart and ministry of those who are called to serve others. Deeply personal and powerfully pastoral, this book points readers to the strength that only God can provide as they love those who are hurting. Afterword written by Gloria Furman, the author's wife.
