Publisher's Description

▼▲

Trauma often disrupts a person’s faith in God.

At times, it even causes people to feel as though they have lost their faith in God altogether.

In this book, Nick Hamilton adds to the ongoing conversation about PTSD and Moral Injury recovery with an approach from the Scriptures for the church, providing a plan that is non-formulaic, helps to remove barriers to faith in Jesus, and helps people heal from their trauma.

Making Friends with Darkness is a unique walk through the Psalms, alongside other Scriptures, that is an invitation to wrestle with your questions and to wrestle with God along the way. It is a companion in the deepest and most difficult moments of life. Making Friends with Darkness hopes to "bind up the brokenhearted," for those who have experienced trauma, walking with you toward the light.
