Sexual harassment. Spousal abuse. Power structures. Systemic racism. Bitter tongues. Road rage. In our culture, awareness about trauma is growing, but many of us need a better understanding of it. This accessible resource for students, therapists, ministry leaders, and caregivers introduces concepts of trauma, abuse, and trauma-informed care. Pastor and licensed therapist Evan Marbury delves into the profound human experience of surviving trauma and explores the remarkable power of resilience through the lens of the gospel. Integrating psychology with theology, this book invites readers on a compelling exploration of humanity's incredible capacity to heal despite unimaginable wounds. Marbury's trauma-treatment expertise and pastoral experience enable him to bring technical knowledge to a broader audience, offering readers a more thorough understanding of trauma and resilience in Christ. The book includes a foreword by Warren Kinghorn of Duke University Medical Center.

A theologically and scientifically engaged exploration of modern mental health care The current model of mental health care doesn't see people: it sees sets of symptoms that need fixing. While modern psychiatry has improved many patients' quality of life, it falls short in addressing their relational and spiritual needs. As a theologian and practicing psychiatrist, Warren Kinghorn shares a Christian vision of accompanying those facing mental health challenges. Kinghorn reviews the successes and limitations of modern mental health care before offering an alternative paradigm of healing. Based in the theology of Thomas Aquinas, this model of personhood affirms four truths: We are known and loved by God. We are creatures made of earth who are formed in community. We are wayfarers on a journey. We are called not to control, but to wonder, love, praise, and rest. Drawing on theological wisdom and scientific evidence, Kinghorn reframes our understanding of mental health care from fixing machines to attending fellow wayfarers on the way to the Lord's feast. With gentle guidance and practical suggestions, Wayfaring is an essential resource for pastors and practitioners as well as for Christians who seek mental health care.
