Author Description

"This life-changing workbook is an interactive tool to be used as a companion resource to the book, Mending the Soul by Steven Tracy. It can be utilized effectively in individual healing, one-on-one counseling, and in small group settings. In a sensitive and artistic manner, it carefully guides men and women in the critical process of healing from the effects of abandonment and abuse. Each chapter includes healing art, contemplative meditations on Christ, and journaling exercises that deepen intimacy with God and others. It integrates the voices of survivors, social-science research, and a theology of healing and forgiveness in a way that both promotes individual healing and guides advocates in the compassionate and holistic care of others, enabling healing in nurturing relationships. Men and women alike will find their own redemptive story to tell, that will inform their ministry to others"--Back cover.
