The Impact of Complex Trauma on Development describes what happens cognitively and emotionally, behaviorally and relationally, to people who are repeatedly traumatized in childhood. Part One brings together trauma theory with a number of theories of human development. It directly addresses and describes developmental pathology and its origins. Through powerful examples, it conveys to the reader the pain and destruction caused by ongoing trauma, abuse, and continuous stress. Part Two, written from the perspective of a clinician who has worked extensively with traumatized children and adults, is primarily directed to mental health professionals and graduate students. These chapters are devoted to describing how to recognize the pathological consequences of trauma and how to intervene and remediate these developmental deficits. The overarching theory is psychoanalytically-based and developmental, but other treatment approaches are integrated into the therapy when they are developmentally and therapeutically appropriate. The text raises important questions related to the development of the self, its relationship to therapy, and the diagnosis and treatment of complex trauma in children, adolescents, and adults.

The Love of GodFor God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. The love of God is a stream of crimson blood poured out. It comes down from His head, over His brow, getting in to His eyes, alongside His nose, seeping into His mouth as He gasps for breath, covering His naked body as He hangs in agony and shame, pouring forth from His hands, feet and side and from the flesh gaping open where He was stricken as the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, dripping down onto the ground, then covering the mercy seat in Heaven, now covering me, and more than covering me, now cleansing me, now coursing through MY veins and pumping through MY heart, purifying me, giving me life so I can, through His life in me, also give life...giving you life if you know Him so you can also through His life give life.There is a path that is stained with Jesus' blood and leads to His crucifixion and ultimately to our crucifixion if we will follow Him. After salvation, man must be made to detest with all his being the sin nature within him. When he does he will kill it (Romans 6:6). "How shall we, who are dead to sin, live any longer in it?" (Romans 6:2). When he kills it, he allows Christ to be fully formed in him and is fit then to walk out the rest of his life on earth in single-minded devotion to Christ, longing for the moment he will be forever with Him in glory. This is the love of God.Cheryl lives in South Carolina with her Husband and two children, serving and loving the Lord.

"Whose Witnesses?" is a book that intends to expose the truth behind what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach. This is not a book of exposition that refutes line by line what the Jehovah's Witnesses believe. I thank the Lord that there are many of those available already. Instead, this book will show the reader that there is one main point that the Jehovah's Witnesses press harder than any other and it is a foundational doctrine of theirs. It is this: They insist that Jesus Christ is not God...they deny His Deity. All other doctrines of theirs are secondary.This book will show how the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is God and that there is no salvation apart from receiving this truth. Jesus is the Son of God but the Word teaches us that He is also God the Son. This is the gospel He taught of Himself and any other teaching is what the Word refers to as another gospel.We pray that this book will be used to lead many into the loving arms of their God and Savior Jesus Christ by illuminating the glorious gospel He taught about Himself.Cheryl lives in South Carolina with her husband Tim and their two children, Garrett and Melanie. She has a deep love for the Lord and His Word and desires that the body of Christ would be filled with the knowledge of God's will by His Spirit and through His Word so we can be light to a dark world.
