Overview
Post-traumatic stress disorder, a profoundly intense response to profoundly dangerous experiences, manifests itself in fear, terrifying vulnerability, and lack of a sense of control. While these responses are often involuntary, Jeremy Lelek reminds us that they are still responses . . . and, thus, different responses are possible. Here he relates the narrative of creation, fall, and redemption to the experiences of PTSD, reminding us that the gospel speaks to our experiences with danger as part of its redemptive message. He points to the wisdom of God in our suffering and reminds us of the saving grace offered by Jesus, guiding readers to the peace and contentment found in seeking God's glory.

Nobody wants to talk about PTSD, let alone deal with it face-on. But Jeremy Lelek in his remarkable booklet explores post-traumatic stress syndrome inside and out, helping us deal with the unknowns, and instructing us how to extend the healing and soothing love of Christ. Our ministry, Joni and Friends, works with many US servicemen and their families who are struggling with PTSD - we are so grateful to have an excellent resource like this and will recommend it to all!--Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni And Friends International Disability Center The Gospel isn't just an ethereal idea. It's not a philosophy and it's not static. It moves and shapes and transforms the lives of those who by God's grace alone put their faith in Jesus' life, death and resurrection. I am grateful for ABC's work of letting the Gospel bear it's weight on these real life sorrows and pains. --Matt Chandler, Lead Teaching Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas
