A HANDBOOK FOR THE BROKEN

A valuable guide for anyone dealing with PTSD, trauma, and tragedy, family members of trauma victims, clergy who seek a better understanding of psychology, and for counselors who seek a better understanding of the role of faith in healing from trauma.

THE CHRIST CURE is a comprehensive handbook of healing for victims of trauma and their families, guiding the reader through a unique path of true restoration, inspired by the life and works of the Apostle Paul (a survivor of multiple traumas), by modern-day mentors, the humbling personal experiences of the author, Psychologist, Navy veteran, and former Member of Congress Dr. Tim Murphy, and reinforced by solid scientific research.

Dr. Murphy's book is a faith-based guide for healing the psychological problems in the wake of trauma. Awakened by his own failures, the author grasped for ways out of his deep depression and re-discovered inspiration in the life and works of the Apostle Paul, who himself lived a life filled with major traumatic experiences. It offers new insights into how life-threatening abuse, chronic stress, and self-inflicted trauma affects us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and most importantly, how we can heal.

In the book, Dr. Murphy candidly describes his own fall from grace, his battle with depression, and his humble confession that while he was trying to save the world, he was losing his own soul; disconnecting from his faith and family. He walks the reader through his return to the Bible and his discovery of a great mentor for healing from trauma—the Apostle Paul.

Paul the Apostle suffered several dozen severe traumas, including whippings, stoning, shipwrecks, trials, imprisonment, abandonment, and a looming death sentence. Modern psychological research suggests that Paul's life experiences contributed to his deep understanding of the human condition and his ability to empathize with others.

Dr. Murphy's book provides a roadmap for healing from trauma, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and other symptoms associated with trauma. It also explores the role of faith in healing, emphasizing the importance of seeking support from a community of believers and finding meaning and purpose in the face of adversity.

THE CHRIST CURE is a powerful and inspiring book that will help victims of trauma and their families find hope and healing. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the impact of trauma and learn how to overcome it through faith and healing.
