Book Description
Countless people today are living with, and dying from untreated mental health disorders, as well as substance use disorder (SUD) aka addiction. This author works diligently to bring about change that will save lives, and bring awareness to an integrative approach to recovery. This includes spiritual solutions as a part of self care. Wendy is eager to encourage healthy practices to promote a global culture and climate shift that focuses on wellness in recovery! Groundbreaking! Wendy works tirelessly to raise awareness and to eliminate stigma associated with these disorders and provides the resources available to help. Write Pray Recover – A Journey to Wellness Through Spiritual Solutions and Self-Care is an excellent addition to those resources. In this text, the author shares her journey of lifelong disease of SUD and mental health disorders, stemming from both early childhood trauma, and ongoing trauma as an adult. It was also due in part to the irresponsibility of doctors (and pharmacists) who treated both physical and mental health symptoms. These healthcare professionals never considered the larger problems which they were creating by over- prescribing addictive opioids, and other controlled substances, in lethal doses. Over the years of her recovery from these disorders, which nearly took her life on numerous occasions, she has embraced a healthy new mindset and lifestyle. Wendy was driven to create her own “Wellness Approach to Recovery” program when she observed early in her recovery that the traditional models did not align with what she envisioned for her “new normal.” Wendy has followed her own groundbreaking program where she uses an integrative approach and is thriving in wellness! With practical advice, paired with anecdotal evidence from the author’s own life, the “Wellness Approach to Recovery” will help readers to embrace and recognize the variety of changes they may consider in their own lives. If these solutions and self care practices resonate—things like meditation, mindfulness, a spiritual practice, etc., then you may also align with Wendy’s untapped pathway to recovery! With the necessary support, tools, and a willingness to be open to new perspectives, not only can you recover from SUD and mental health disorders, but (at long last) you can begin to heal, to truly live with purpose and joy, and to thrive on a cellular level!

Book Description
In this searing meditation on the bonds of family and the allure of extremist faith, one of today’s most celebrated Christian writers recounts his unexpected journey from a strict fundamentalist upbringing to a life of compassion and grace—a revelatory memoir that “invites comparison to Hillbilly Elegy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Searing, heartrending . . . This stunning tale reminds us that the only way to keep living is to ask God for the impossible: love, forgiveness, and hope.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father’s death—a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons had been ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; from family oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths—one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a “toxic faith,” the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post–World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear. “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write,” says Yancey. “So many of the strands from my childhood—racial hostility, political division, culture wars—have resurfaced in modern form. Looking back points me forward.”

Book Description
Author Darren LaBrecque presents Pilgrimage toward Recovery offers the reader a very original from a fellow sufferer of mental illness. All knowledge in this book is firsthand, as LaBrecque dealt with the very things on which he writes. He believes that Pilgrimage toward Recovery can point you in the right direction toward your own recovery. His book is unique in the sense that as he was writing it, he was on his own pilgrimage toward recovery. The idea for this book came to LaBrecque in prayer when the Lord answered him, saying he was going to write a book. LaBrecque’s first reply was that he didn’t know how, and He replied, “But I do, and I will guide you through it every step of the way. You will not be disappointed; it will be a tremendous help to you.”
