    Leaving the Mormon ChurchPrepare to embark on a remarkable journey. As my story unfolds, it was 2015 – I was sitting at my computer, planning my gospel doctrine class. I stood up to get something, and I instantly transcended into a spiritual encounter, an overwhelming deep-seated sensation of instant knowledge that went down to my cells. When I opened my eyes from this Experience, I saw the world differently. I walked slowly into my bedroom and took my garments off. I’ve never gone back to the Mormon Church or any church, since. In this book, I share: •	How I learned to communicate and commune straight to my Higher Power instead of going through men to get to heavenly expansion. You will find this book to be very God-centered.•	For those who have suffered judgment and pain from behaving or thinking contrary to the teachings in the church and are trying to find their way, this book is for you.•	Although I have spent a lifetime within the Mormon doctrine, I do not claim to be a scriptorian or authority on religious or spiritual enlightenment. •	I kept this sacred Experience quiet for some time and am now sharing it in hopes it may help those who are at a crossroads with their faith. Moreover, my journey took an unexpected turn when I faced a stage four cancer diagnosis. This profound moment became an opportunity to dig deeper, to reaffirm and embrace my beliefs and authentic self in the face of a new reality.At its core, this book is about love. With an open heart, I invite you to join me on this transformative adventure as I share my story with you and inspire your own exploration of love, spirituality, and the sacred mysteries that shape your lives.

    PTSD: A Theological Approach

    As a former officer of Marines, a Navy chaplain to Marines, and later a VA chaplain to Veterans, Dr. Scott Jimenez has spent many years working with countless combat Veterans struggling with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). PTSD is also often masked by substance abuse. The media treats them as outcasts, though there are treatment options available. However, they offer an incomplete recovery, not fully addressing important areas such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, and identity, which are theological in nature, and need a theological approach. Providing exhaustive research into this pressing discovery, Dr. Jimenez's PTSD: A THEOLOGICAL APPROACH provides an effective treatment, in an easy-to-read and simple format. This book is designed for readers who know someone suffering from PTSD, are curious about it, or just want to help. The author has performed extensive research, interviewing combat veterans, as well as secondary research consisting of endless hours of study, sifting, and recombining data found. Since there are neither books nor research focusing on a theological approach to PTSD, this book is a crucial and revolutionary aid to all who suffer from it, whether combat veteran or those who have experienced other forms of life trauma. Emphasizing usage of faith-based recovery and spiritual programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) for support, the author highlights strong research in these pages, and a conviction that true, long-term recovery from this condition cannot last without attention and aid given to the all-important "soul injury" aspect of PTSD.
