O knihe
The addiction epidemic is traumatizing our families, communities, and places of worship. In the last year alone, there has been a record of overdose fatalities and a rise in substance use, especially for women. Tragically, many are living in the darkness of shame often created by the consequences of addiction like sexual violence and even death. In Downstairs Church: Reflections on Basement Grace and Radical Healing, Caroline Beidler, MSW explores the problem of addiction and trauma for women today and then highlights the freedom--and faith--that can be found in the downstairs church or recovery community. Beidler also highlights the radical vulnerability required of addiction and mental health recovery, something that all Christians can benefit from. When we share our stories of struggle in real ways, authentic transformation can happen. With compassion because of her own personal experience of addiction and sexual violence as well as insight because of her professional expertise, Beidler blends relevant statistics and practical information with real-life testimonies of redemption. Beidler provides a practical list of ways that faith communities can become more trauma-informed spaces for those who may be seeking love and acceptance inside church buildings. Ultimately, Downstairs Church offers a portrait of radical grace and a God whose love persists even in church basements.
