Reihe: Questions for Restless Minds

How you can support survivors with the hope of Christ. Chances are that you know someone who has experienced trauma-or you've experienced it yourself. So how can you respond wisely, carefully, and helpfully? In How Can We Help Victims of Trauma and Abuse?, Stephen N. Williams and Susan L. Williams draw on their expertise in theology and counseling to equip you. Ignorant helpfulness can be damaging; a truly fruitful response must be informed, not just well--intentioned. Before we can aid in recovery, we must gain a deeper understanding of trauma's emotional and spiritual implications. Moreover, we need a Christian perspective on trauma. Discover how Christ is the light and life that defeats darkness and death. The Questions for Restless Minds series applies God's word to today's issues. Each short book faces tough questions honestly and clearly, so you can think wisely, act with conviction, and become more like Christ.
