Healing for Trauma will help trauma victims and their families to face and handle the consequences of potentially devastating events. In South Africa - with its high incidence of violent crime, divorce and other forms of trauma - most people are emotionally wounded at one stage or another. If these wounds are not treated immediately, they can leave severe scars and debilitate people, just like physical wounds do. The book discusses specific situations such as bank robbery, hijacking, suicide of a loved one, rape, multiple trauma and farm murders, and also provides general recovery guidelines that will benefit every person who has lived through a traumatic incident. Healing for Trauma is an invaluable guide for people who would like to help others to make a complete recovery after trauma and to continue their life's journey joyfully.

An Insight into Low Self Esteem is a book based on a seminar given by Christine Ledger at Waverley Abbey House. It has been written and developed by Wendy Bray and is an honest and personal approach to the problems of low self-esteem. The term self-esteem describes how we judge ourselves, and the value we attach to the kind of people we are. It is strongly related to the way we think a 'significant other' person in our lives sees us - for a Christian, the 'significant other' person who plays a major role in our self-evaluation is God, for it's in Him only, that we will find our sense of true value and worth.
