If you’ve ever experienced a highly stressful event or series of events, you may have been traumatised to some extent. In such challenging times, we often rely on the support of family and other loved ones. Majellan has a collection of book titles that can assist you or someone you know on the journey to physical, emotional or spiritual recovery.
With empathy and just the right touch of humour, Jeff Dunn shows us how saints from Paul to Pio weren’t immune to struggles and difficulties. There are no platitudes or easy answers here. Instead, you’ll find wisdom, support and guidance from saints who accompany us as we travel from worry, fear and anxiety to the peace of God.
Reflections, Activities and Prayers on Practicing Virtues.
Organized by 25 virtues—compassion, empathy, justice, and more—this essential resource also includes brief reflections and prayers for each virtue. The ideas and approaches can be used at home, in classrooms, or in small or large groups to help children of all ages grow into the compassionate and caring people God created them to be.
This small book of everyday reflections and prayers reveals that literally everything in daily life can reflect God’s love and goodness. A smile, a knock at the door, a seed waiting to be sown, a leaf, through these simple gifts, prayer washes over all the moments of the day and makes it more spiritual and meaningful.
Sometimes the chaos and questioning of everyday life can be overwhelming. This book applies a faith perspective to making choices and finding one’s way, using practical examples and stories. In addition, questions for reflection make this a good choice for parish prayer groups and book clubs.
The second half of life offers many opportunities for growth, discovery, and new meanings. Janet Schaeffler helps you explore them with wisdom, prayer and a deep sense of appreciation for who you are and who you are still becoming.
Beyond Pain is an in-depth look at how people can not only live with pain but come to see it and all suffering with the eyes of faith.
I couldn’t help myself: I was so angry that I exploded and said things that I later regretted.
We’ve all felt anger churning away inside like a volcano which is almost ready to erupt; experienced the stress of trying to remain calm so that our angry words and actions don’t hurt ourselves or others
either emotionally or physically. This book offers practical ideas and strategies which help to peacefully manage that inner volcano.
Sue McDermott OBE, Executive Director of Rainbows Bereavement Support GB, shares her many years of face-to-face experience throughout the pages of this book.
So many people today are touched by suicide. “Why would someone do this?” “Is there anything I could have done to prevent it?” “Where did I fail?” “Why? Why? Why?” In this short book of meditations and prayers, Woodeene Koenig-Bricker, herself a survivor of suicide, walks with you through the stages of being the one left behind. Filled with consoling guidance and prayerful hope, it will invite you to move from anguish to peace, from darkness to light, and from despair to hope.
This book is intended to support parish counsellors, parents, carers, friends and therapists by providing clear, concise and accessible information and suggesting a framework for recovery.
