Download or read book Soul Repair written by Rita Nakashima Brock and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to explore the idea and effect of moral injury on veterans, their families, and their communities Although veterans make up only 7 percent of the U.S. population, they account for an alarming 20 percent of all suicides. And though treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder has undoubtedly alleviated suffering and allowed many service members returning from combat to transition to civilian life, the suicide rate for veterans under thirty has been increasing. Research by Veterans Administration health professionals and veterans’ own experiences now suggest an ancient but unaddressed wound of war may be a factor: moral injury. This deep-seated sense of transgression includes feelings of shame, grief, meaninglessness, and remorse from having violated core moral beliefs. Rita Nakashima Brock and Gabriella Lettini, who both grew up in families deeply affected by war, have been working closely with vets on what moral injury looks like, how vets cope with it, and what can be done to heal the damage inflicted on soldiers’ consciences. In Soul Repair, the authors tell the stories of four veterans of wars from Vietnam to our current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan—Camillo “Mac” Bica, Herman Keizer Jr., Pamela Lightsey, and Camilo Mejía—who reveal their experiences of moral injury from war and how they have learned to live with it. Brock and Lettini also explore its effect on families and communities, and the community processes that have gradually helped soldiers with their moral injuries. Soul Repair will help veterans, their families, members of their communities, and clergy understand the impact of war on the consciences of healthy people, support the recovery of moral conscience in society, and restore veterans to civilian life. When a society sends people off to war, it must accept responsibility for returning them home to peace.

Download or read book Today Tonight Tomorrow written by Jan Scruggs and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have experienced two of the most profound experiences God offers us on this earth: the overwhelming joy of adopting children, and the overpowering grief of losing a child from the tragedy of heroin addiction. In this book, I have placed everything my heart holds. It is a blend of happy experiences with my children as my husband and I raised them, horrific experiences as we helplessly watched one child's life painfully ripped apart in a storm of evil, and the unimaginable aftermath of losing a child. Tears from all these are spread throughout these pages. In his death, my child was redeemed and set free. I was left picking up the pieces of my broken heart, shaking my head, and trying to understand why. God's overpowering love and sovereignty had raised a sword against one of Satan's greatest tools, the power of addiction. Was my child nothing more than a casualty of spiritual warfare? God is good. Did I still believe that? This book chronicles my journey through His Word, listening for whispers from heaven, until finally, I too am set free. Today,Tonight,Tomorrow was written by Him,for Him,and belongs to Him. I pray that this book will help fight the spread of the addiction plague that has been so carefully orchestrated by the enemy and will help provide comfort to those already caught in the battle.

Download or read book The Deeper Wound written by Deepak Chopra, M.D. and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2001-12-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of How to Know God provides help for healing deep trauma—whenever it arises—so we may find peace in ourselves and in our world. Terror came from the sky, and afterward the world would never be the same. September, 11, 2001, defined tragedy for a generation. On that day Deepak Chopra found himself driving from city to city, meeting thousands of people who begged for meaning and solace in the face of suffering. In response he has written The Deeper Wound, offering a way of healing as a memorial to the thousands of victims who perished. The opening section, “In the Face of Tragedy,” defines suffering as the pain that threatens to make life meaningless. When our deepest needs go unfulfilled, suffering begins. We begin to heal when we go beyond personal anger and fear to a realization of our true self, the self that was never afraid and can never be wounded. The true self contains the light that no darkness can attack. Having described a path of awareness and compassion that leads to the light, the second half of The Deeper Wound takes us there through “A Hundred Days of Healing,” daily affirmations, exercises, insights, lessons, and questions—each a step out of pain toward a higher reality. “We can become living memorials to tragedy by restoring the power of life,” writes Deepak Chopra. “You are that life, you are that power. Let us see if we can find the spark that will make the spiritual flame spring up.” Healing yourself comes in two stages—first releasing the energy of suffering, then replacing it with the soul’s energy. It is a gentle and fragile path, very much like holding on to a thread as it leads you from step to step. If you take the time to listen to the voice of silence, you will be astonished at the power you have at your command, however long that power has been overlooked. A portion of the proceeds earned by the author and publisher from the sale of this book will be donated to the Red Cross to aid in humanitarian relief efforts around the world.

Download or read book Operation Soul Recovery written by Sheryl J. Stevens and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An alarming problem is raging out of control in our country and world. Statistics say that proportionately everyone knows at least one or more persons, if not themselves, who is stricken with an addiction or another form of mental illness. On one hand we appear to be making an attempt to deal with the problems. On the other hand, the weakness of the methods along with the lack of conviction, have left barely a scratch on the surface of what is fast becoming an epidemic. And producing in its wake is a multidimensional negative effect upon all of society. The inherited shame and denial that have accompanied these disorders for centuries, still prevent us from dealing with them forthrightly. However in the past, the number of victims did not present a significant threat to the safety and welfare of civilization. Nor then were the defining lines of right and wrong so clouded with controversy. Now we have neither situation to our benefit. Perhaps compromising values has tended to cause a blending effect, making it much more difficult to lead them out of their disconnected conditions. If we cannot provide the afflicted with a substantial lifeline of recovery, then the existing situation is like "the blind leading the blind". We consider every illness of the body with the greatest of care, yet what good is a healthy body if it must live with a tormented soul? Somehow we fail to see the connection between the escalating violence that goes on in the world and the rising turmoil of mind and spirit disorders that exist largely unattended, not to mention the millions who suffer unmercifully in silence. It is an issue of urgency that needs to be clearly acknowledged on all fronts and raised from the bottom, to the top of our priorities. It is probable that a real turnabout must stem from those who have been struck by these devastating circumstances within their own circle of loved ones. There is no greater passion against evil than that which is born from such intense personal pain, and remains the most important element in revolutionizing this wanton dilemma. Possibly the final cure will not be found in books and theories, but in the depths of wounded hearts. If we have the will to survive and find purpose in the tragedies, they can change us, rearrange our perspectives, give us wisdom, in ways otherwise unimaginable. The place to start is a real awakening to the consequences of evil that have been brought upon society by these forgotten diseases. Only then we are ready to fathom what must be done. After nearly two decades of watching my youngest daughter evolve from a lovely young girl to a stranger battling multiple addictions, moreover witnessing the ineffectiveness of the entire range of recovery systems (within our reach), the results were utterly heartbreaking. However, out of these adversities would come an amazing vision-extraordinary in nature, yet altogether possible. It was a phenomenon which could indeed change the course of all that falls under the umbrella of mental illness. Ultimately this vision was the inspiration for writing Operation Soul Recovery.

Book excerpt: When your world collapses around you, it's usually from a severed relationship in 1 of 4 forms- a burial, betrayal, break-up, or a bodily breakdown. Everyone faces despair and grief. Sadly, not everyone finds repair and relief. We may face different circumstances. But we all face the same feelings that need healing. On the dark night of June 24, 2021, unimaginable despair fell on Miami when a partial collapse of a 12-story beachfront building took 98 souls. Within minutes, author Mike Noriega rushed to the 3rd deadliest building failure in U.S. history, where his beloved grandma, Hilda Noriega, was buried in the rubble. When your heart collapses without warning, what do you do when sorrow leaves a hole in your soul? The lifeblood of Uncollapsable Soul is to honor the 98 lives that perished. Their heartbeat is felt from the real-life accounts of survivors & families of victims, while praising the heroic first responders & the legacy of love left by Mike's grandmother. Its heart is inspired by Psalm 34:18, "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed." A broken heart is meant to be a life season, while a crushed spirit can be a life sentence. Yet, how can you prevent a broken heart from crushing your spirit? We don't get stronger in the breaking; we get stronger through healing. Despite a shattered heart, your soul doesn't have to fall apart. Uncollapsable Soul guides you to redefine faith, recover hope in heartbreak, gain purpose from pain, and ultimately revive your heart, rescue your spirit, and restore your soul back to whole. Your Soul was made to be Uncollapsable.
