Mending the Soul, Second Edition

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“After five years of teaching Mending the Soul courses in Spanish in eleven Latin American countries and the United States, we saw such powerful healing from abuse and trauma that we started a nonprofit—Resplandece Internacional— to empower us to reach more people. We’re grateful for this new edition of Mending the Soul in which Steven and Celestia Tracy combine their expertise to amplify their compassionate, community-based healing We highly recommend Mending the Soul to all who want to better understand abuse and find healing for themselves and others. Resplandece Internacional board members Magdalena Sánchez, interim president of the Centro Hispano de Estudios Teológicos; Carmen Quinche, Evangelical Covenant Church pastor; and Debbie Taylor, retired missionary, pastor, and therapist Every Christian leader needs a theology of abuse in this broken world, and thus every Christian leader needs this book. For almost a decade, the Mending the Soul book and workbook have been used as an essential part of our transformational curriculum for upper-division students. I can testify to the power of this model to help heal and transform the lives of our Native American staff and students, many of whom are planning to take this approach back to their tribes. I’m thrilled at the additional information provided in this new edition.”
