Loss can occur in many forms, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or termination of a job. Healing Takes Time is filled with 52 meditations and reflections to help people experiencing loss start a journey of healing. This biblical resource draws on experiences from Galagher's life, and includes a theme, relevant Scripture passages, personal illustrations, and practical steps to take toward healing in each meditation. Just as a physical injury takes time to mend, emotional and spiritual anguish require time, patience, and faith to heal. Perspective is often lost during painful times, and the Scripture passages in this book are a fresh reminder of God's love and faithfulness. Most people have heard about the stages of grief, but knowing the stages academically is quite different from knowing them in the heart. Healing Takes Time helps those suffering loss, loneliness, and sorrow prayerfully walk through the stages of grief step-by-step. Healing Takes Time is ideal for support groups or people working at their own pace. This short, practical, and focused book is a helpful companion for anyone experiencing emotional or spiritual distress. David P.

This handbook is a summary version of the longer "A Time to Heal" report from the Church of England on the ministry of healing. The report offers an overview of the current state of this ministry and a framework for the development of the healing ministry in the 21st century.

Ginny Red Fawn McLain, a Shawnee medicine woman, is thrust back into the world of her birth family twelve years after her abduction. While she eschews the Christianity preached by her birth uncle who found her, Ginny's heart refuses to shun his friend and fellow Christian minister, Jeremiah Dunbar. Jeremiah Dunbar is immediately smitten with his friend's long lost niece. But unless Ginny Red Fawn joins Christ's fold--something she adamantly resists--any future with the woman he loves is impossible. Amid an atmosphere of contempt and distrust, dreams and cultures clash. Ginny and Jeremiah are left to wonder whether their burgeoning love has any place in God's plan.

It offers practical guidance on overcoming healing challenges—from organizing your kitchen in order to cook healthier meals and boosting your confidence that you can heal, to having a tough conversation with an unsupportive spouse. Readers of Everyday Healing will find: Personal stories and medical studies that demonstrate the power of each daily action step. Tips to effectively research and evaluate new treatment options. Tools to manage tough emotions and create a fabulous support team. Organizing principles to routinize healthy eating, sleeping, and exercise. “In over fifteen years of medical practice, I’ve learned that each individual’s healing process is unique. In that regard, Everyday Healing is a breath of fresh air. Instead of giving you a one-size-fits-all prescription, Janette lovingly provides the tools to find your own path to health and stick to it.
