Understanding Trauma: A Biblical Introduction for Church Care
About this ebook
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.
