Description
Book SynopsisDrawing on the author's travels in South Africa and South America and her role as Director of the face2face project at Holy Rood House, this title asks how the stories of 'survivors' can begin to transform society and the Church. It offers practical steps to enable churches to be safer spaces for victims of abuse.
Trade ReviewThe wealth to be found in this book consists of the many personal stories which Glasson recounts. * Renew newsletter June 2010 no. 154 *
A sobering read for all. * Church of England Newspaper *
If, as individuals, as communities, or even as nations, we were to adopt Glasson's approach to trauma and abuse, the world would be a much better place for many people. * The Way *
I would recommend this book to the lost and silenced, to those who wish to journey alongside them and to local congregations who wish to become more inclusive. * The Project for Spirituality, Theology and Health *
Full of theological depth and human resilience. * Methodist Recorder, December 2009 *
From her personal presence amid various of our world's problems, British Methodist minister Barbara Glasson has written A Spirituality of Survival: Enabling a Response to Trauma and Abuse.. She enables greater earnest awareness of wars, social problems, natural disasters, individual crises. Her 'response' is aware that there are more questionas than answers. * Review for Religious, February 2010 *
