Acerca de esta escucha
Childhood trauma, mental illness, addiction, and incarceration are far too common in the US today. Recovery from even one of these issues is challenging, yet many people live with the stark reality of more than one of these circumstances every day. Our systems of care offer some help, but sometimes even the best programs don't yield lasting results. What does a person do when medication, therapy, drug treatment, and support groups are ultimately ineffective for them?
Fortunately, countless people have found healing, recovery, and lasting happiness through a spiritual solution. In Better than Well, author Michael Prichard shares the dark and painful story of how his childhood trauma contributed to severe mental health issues, crippling addiction, incarceration, and how he found hope, healing, and recovery through faith in God and the Biblical narrative. Through Michael's story, you will discover that no matter how dark life gets, no matter what has happened to us or what we have done, God cares about our pain and wants to help heal us.

In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiner presents five of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients. Among them: A successful, first-generation Chinese immigrant musician suffering sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her at age nine with her younger siblings in an isolated cottage in the depth of winter; and a glamorous workaholic whose narcissistic, negligent mother greeted her each morning of her childhood with "Good morning, Monster". Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years.

In The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child, Tana Amen shares her incredible story of transformation - of growing up in poverty, a bullied latch-key kid raised on sugary cereal and junk food, to becoming a world-renowned food and fitness expert. Her challenging past of neglect, poverty, sexual abuse, thyroid cancer, and bouts of anxiety and depression set her on a path to find healing. Through her remarkable journey, we see more clearly the light that can shine through our own broken places and ultimately heal us: body, mind, and soul.

Tina Konkin was devastated when she learned her husband was having an affair with her best friend. How could this happen to a couple who were Christian marriage counselors? But the surprises didn't stop there, because God immediately asked Tina this question: "What role did you play in this, Tina?" That question and Tina's willingness to answer it led to a restored, renewed marriage that was better than ever before, as well as a marriage counseling program that has an 80% success rate.

In Recovered, pastor and author Robby Gallaty tells the story of how God radically saved him from his addictions and called him into a life of discipleship. Robby grew up in a very religious Catholic family who attended church every Sunday and confession on Saturday if needed. Very rarely did he miss a Saturday night dinner and a movie with his parents and sister Lori. You can imagine how devastated they were when Robby stole $15,000 from them to fuel his drug addiction.

With no-holds-barred honesty and poignant storytelling, Nate Larkin introduces a model of community and friendship that is reinvigorating men's ministry across the country, a model he calls The Samson Society. Too many men see the biblical hero Samson as their model for manhood - a rugged individualist of the highest order. Yet, Samson's solitary successes were eventually overcome by moral weaknesses. Larkin, through the story of his own past and the stories of those in The Samson Society, offers a radical, refreshing alternative.

Infidelity, deceit, distrust, and shame. Unfortunately, these are recurring themes in many of today's marriages in America - even in the family-values-promoting, Christian-based Robertson family. With a romance that began in junior high, the couple got off to a rocky start but soon settled into married life and had two baby girls. Alan became a pastor in the church where his family had been members for years. Then, when Lisa had an affair, the heartache and the tension was very public.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, even those who have never struggled with mental health have found themselves reeling, looking for answers they don't know how to find. For Christians, especially those who've despaired of help from a church that has too often stigmatized poor mental health as a lack of faith, the way forward can be particularly difficult to see. Jonathon Seidl aims to fix that. Having fought his own way through crippling anxiety, life-altering OCD, and suicidal thoughts, he knows the value of concrete advice grounded in strong biblical truth.

Many people don't like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren't there? How do we silence the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we've allowed to be done through us? In When You Don't Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of grace, putting his redemption on display.

For Craig Melvin this book is more an investigation than a memoir. It's an opportunity to better understand his father; to interrogate his family's legacy of addiction and despair but also transformation and redemption; and to explore the challenges facing all dads - including Craig himself, a father of two young children.

Highly recommend
This story was moving. It was heartbreaking to hear the struggles he faced as a child into adulthood. Yet, I’m in awe of what transpired throughout his recovery through God’s grace and mercy. It is wonderful to see how Michael is now using it for good to help others. Thank you Michael for being transparent in sharing your story. It was well written. I gained greater insight into the importance of learning how to be a support to others. In addition, a renewed hope and passion for praying for those struggling with addiction. I highly recommend this book.
