Helpful resource... a "checklist" for trauma-sensitive worshipping communities

First of its kind! A Trauma-Informed Daily Devotional book by Rev. Dr. Chris Haughee
This book is the result of my passion for uniting the insights gained from trauma-informed ministry and God's Word. I have dedicated the last decade of my ministry to better understanding the effect of traumatic experiences—especially those that happen in childhood—on human spirituality, resilience, and our capacity to hope. I believe it has made me a better minister of the gospel and a better follower of Jesus Christ. It has certainly opened up my heart and mind to a greater appreciation of...
