DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN FIND FREEDOM FROM GUILT AND SHAME Do any of the following apply to you? <ul>
<li>I need forgiveness from God, but I don’t know how to find it.</li> <li>It’s only a matter of time before people find out I’m not good enough.</li> <li>I am disconnected and lonely.</li> <li>How can I figure out when I am guilty and when I am innocent?</li> <li>I don’t think I’m worth being loved.</li> <li>I don’t want to be so angry, jealous, and judgmental.</li> <li>I need to have a stronger connection with God.</li> </ul>
If these statements sound familiar to you—you are not alone. Even the most emotionally healthy people today experience degrees of the anguish brought on by shame and guilt. The heavy burden of shame and guilt can often keep us from connecting with others and enjoying the freedom of living in Christ. In Overcoming Guilt and Shame Dr. Daniel Green and Dr. Mel Lawrenz discuss the many ways in which guilt and shame both subtly and overtly manifest themselves in our lives. Using pastoral counseling and illustrative psychological case studies, they uncover the causes of and healthy responses to shame and guilt. Daniel Green (Ph.D., University of Arkansas) is clinical director of New Life Resources, Inc. in Brookfield, WI. Mel Lawrenz (Ph.D., Marquette University) is minister at large for Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, WI, and director of The Brook Network (www.thebrooknetwork.org).

At one time or another we all will all experience loss and grief. It may be the death of someone close, a divorce, the loss of a job, a miscarriage, a chronic illness, an injury, or any number of traumatic events. Life After Grief offers an understanding of the experience of loss and grief, and lays out pathways of healing for those who are hurting, and advice for those trying to help those who mourn. The authors address questions like: <ul>
<li>• What is happening to me?</li> <li>• Why is this happening to me?</li> <li>• How long will this take?</li> <li>• Where is God in all this?</li> <li>• What can I do to help myself?</li> <li>• How can I turn from being a victim to becoming a survivor?</li> </ul>
Getting through grief is not just about answering questions, however. Those who grieve need ways to cope, ways to hold on, ways to know they are not alone. And they need ways to find the comforting presence of God. The book also deals with the severe forms of loss we call trauma. Life After Grief also offers practical ways to move through the process of grieving, like: <ul>
<li>• Tension-reducing strategies.</li> <li>• Strategies for staying present-focussed.</li> <li>• Strategies for changing troublesome thoughts.</li> </ul>
Life After Grief not only offers a lifeline for those who mourn, but also provides an understanding of the dynamics of grief to friends and family helping the person dealing with loss.
