 Continuing with our Grace Counseling Associates Bookshelf series, Sara shares with us her current top five picks. Keep in mind there are many, many wonderful resources out there that we find helpful and often recommend to clients. These are the top five that Sara is finding particularly helpful in her work right now: The Betrayal Bind: How to Heal When the Person you Love the Most Hurts You the Worst by Michelle May The Betrayal Bind introduces new language, concepts, and imagery to explore the crucial relational dilemma that betrayed partners face when their significant other is unsafe to connect to, yet connection is the key to healing. (description excerpt from Amazon) Making Sense of Forgiveness: Moving from Hurt toward Hope by Brad Hambrick Cliches, glib answers, and quick solutions are shared all too often with those who are struggling to forgive or embrace forgiveness. We know Jesus calls us to forgive, but it can be hard to know what that looks like in complicated, messy relationships. (description excerpt from Amazon) Building True Intimacy: Creating a Connection that Stands the Test of Time by Dan Drake, Joanna Raabsmith, and Matthew Raabsmith This book introduces The Intimacy Pyramid, a proven framework for creating a love that stands the test of time. With honesty as the foundation, we'll guide you through the essential steps to building safety and trust, unlocking the power of vulnerability, and ultimately achieving a profound level of intimacy you may have never thought possible. Try Softer: A Fresh Approach, to Move Us Out of Anxiety, Stress, and Survival Mode - Into a Life of Connection and Joy by Aundi Kolber In a world that preaches a "try harder" gospel - just keep going, keep hustling, keep pretending we're all fine - we're left exhausted, overwhelmed, and so numb to our lives. If we're honest, we've been overfunctioning for so long, we can't even imagine another way. It doesn't have to be this way. (description excerpt from Amazon) I Want to Trust You but I Don't: Moving Forward When You're Skeptical of Others, Afraid of What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment by Lysa TerKeurst In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn't dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead this book offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.
