Understanding Trauma and Resilience

World Religions

“With grace and humility, Evan Marbury engages in the sacred topic of trauma and invites his readers to do the same. In this work, he beautifully captures the heart of God, the affliction of the soul that is trauma affected, and the call of counselors, ministers, and caregivers (and every person) to enter these sacred spaces with humility, recognizing and embracing each soul's God-given dignity and beauty. Easy to read and hard to put down, this book lays out a foundation for understanding the implications of trauma and abuse. With boldness and gentleness, Marbury speaks into the existence of collective and spiritual trauma and offers ways to move toward growth, resilience, and hope for healing.”
