When Religion Hurts You - Healing from Religious Trauma and the Impact of High-Control Religion

Laura E. Anderson

Sinossi

"Anderson strikes a smart, balanced tone. . . . An exemplary guide to an understudied issue."--Publishers Weekly 
 
"An exposé of the dangers of high-control religions that makes it easier to recognize and resist religious abuse."--Foreword Reviews 
 
Religious trauma is something that happens far more often than most people realize. But religious trauma is trauma. 
 
In When Religion Hurts You, Dr. Laura Anderson takes an honest look at a side of religion that few like to talk about. Drawing from her own life and therapy practice, she helps readers understand what religious trauma is and isn't, and how high-control churches can be harmful and abusive, often resulting in trauma. She shows how elements of fundamentalist church life--such as fear of hell, purity culture, corporal punishment, and authoritarian leaders--can cause psychological, relational, physical, and spiritual damage. 
 
As she explores the growing phenomenon of religious trauma, Dr. Anderson helps readers embark on a journey of living as healing individuals and finding a new foundation to stand on. Recognizing that healing is a lifelong rather than a linear process, she offers markers of healing for those coming out of painful religious experiences and hope for finding wholeness after religious trauma.

Awakening The Universal Heart -...

Serge Beddington-Behrens

A guide to improving your quality of life and changing the world for the better. I invite you to come on a journey with me into one of the most important, yet often most neglected dimension of yourself: your heart. I want to help you discover, as I have slowly been discovering, that our hearts not only hold the key to our being able to live a fuller and more meaningful life, but also to our being able to play a part in helping heal our planet. The change needed is a shift out of our primarily head-focus into becoming increasingly heart-centered, where we are connected to our hearts and are potentially capable of moving mountains. We are only going to be good activists if we have plenty of heart in our lives—if we are big hearted with a well-activated Heart. A culture of Heart is vital if we are to heal the many wounds and splits that exist between different classes, religions, tribes, and nations. The book has been written from a place of great hope and joy, based on knowledge that our world is changing and that the planetary heart is at last awakening.Praise for Awakening the Universal Heart“If you want to open and develop your heart, to create a better world for everyone, then read this passionate and inspiring book.” —William Bloom, author, educator, and activist“We need practical visionaries to show us the way towards a culture of love and of the heart. Serge is one such visionary.” —David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network

Beyond The Fray - Bigfoot

Shannon LeGro, G. Michael Hopf

"Be mindful of what lies beyond the wood line." 
It's argued that the recent search for Bigfoot officially began on September 21, 1958, when journalist, Andrew Genzoli of the Humboldt Times, featured a letter from a reader about loggers in Northern California concerning large footprints they'd found at a work site. What began as a fun article turned into an almost instant national sensation and since stories of the elusive creature have poured in, not just from California and the Pacific Northwest, but from around the world. 
Beyond the Fray: Bigfoot features some of these personal eyewitness accounts and terrifying encounters, most taken from the transcripts of the popular podcast Into the Fray. These stories are unique and scary. They will leave you wondering what this creature is and will no doubt give you pause before you cross the wood line and enter the woods.
