Book Description
This simple self-help book on addiction was based on my vast experience counseling substance users and their families for over thirty years working as a GP in the poor suburb of Mithells Plan in Cape Town, which has a population of over a million people. If you: a) are suffering from an addiction; b)are related to someone with an addiction; c) are interested in addiction; d) counsel substance users or e) are going through an emotional crisis then this book is for you. It will help you to deal with your problems in a calm and mature way. The book brings hope to desperate families and people afflicted with addiction in a simple easy to read style, without any medical jargon. I urge you to read the book regularly; put its teachings into practice, and watch yourself changing for the better like so many others have. DR Robert E Rapiti, MBBS; FCFP; DCH; DMH: MBA "The book, 4 steps to Healing is brilliant in its simplicity, addressing drug users as well as their supporters. Lay drug counsellors and practitioners should find this book very useful. DR Rapiti touches the core of the solution when he appeals to the Power within each of us to deal with the challenges in our life in a spiritual but practical way. What makes this book so attractive is that it does not use complex medical terminology to get the message across. This book should be prescribed reading for all learners, at the lowest possible grade, and for their parents." DR Alfred S Liddle, Family Physician, Cape Town

Book Description
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness—helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu's role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one's story and witnessing the anguish; Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness; and renewing or releasing the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even feels like an impossible task. But it is only through walking this fourfold path that Tutu says we can free ourselves of the endless and unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiving is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu's wise advice and showing the way to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiving is the only means we have to heal ourselves and our aching world.

Book Description
A path of hope and healing for survivors of childhood sexual abuse A woman who was sexually abused as a child is confronted with many internal questions: Am I worthless? Will I get past the pain? Do I matter to God? These and similar questions can carve a deep hole in an already wounded soul. Too often, the lies of worthlessness are believed, the pain becomes too much to handle, and survivors find themselves making choices that lead to more heartbreak. With over 42 million survivors (both male and female) in the United States alone, the need for a clear path to healing is great. Crystal Sutherland—herself a survivor of CSA—knows that while the recovery process is complex, healing is possible with God’s help. For women who want to progress from simply coping to living abundantly, Journey to Heal guides readers through seven essential steps to recovery found in Scripture. Candid and open about her personal journey of healing, Crystal comes alongside her reader as a friend who understands. Infused with biblical truths, stories of hope from other survivors, and practical wisdom, this book leads women to discover the life of wholeness God has for them.

Book Description
If you or someone you care about has experienced the pain of unresolved grief after abortion, you know how hard it can be to find help. Magazines and talk shows offer advice on nearly every topic, yet it's rare to see a headline for post-abortion recovery. The Four Steps to Healing sheds new light on an issue that has touched the lives of many but is talked about by few. The myth of abortion as a “selfish” choice is dispelled here by illustrations of women who chose abortion out of concern everyone's needs but their own. Many who suffer from post-abortion grief are, in fact, caring nurturers, helpers by nature who take spiritual matters seriously. To address the specific needs of those who long to reconnect and go further in their faith, The Four Steps to Healing is available in both Catholic and non-denominational versions. Filled with practical suggestions, prayers and stories of hope, it is a resource for those who want to be healed and for those who want to help.
