Double Booked is a monthly series where a co-host (Catherine of Gilmore Guide to Books and Susie from Novel Visits will alternate months) and I will each share our own book recommendations in the same format as the big show (2 old books we love, 2 new books we love, 1 book we didn't love, and 1 upcoming release we're excited about). Moving forward, these episodes will be available to "Superstars" patrons for $7 / month (join here). This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Announcements Along with this Double Booked bonus episode series, "Superstars" patrons will get: My 2022 Rock Your Reading Tracker (normally $14.99) Summer Reading Guide Supplement (additional summer reading recommendations from patrons and hopefully previous podcast guests). Everything in the "Stars" tier ($5 /month) Highlights Our ongoing search for the right word to replace "love" when talking about books that deal with really tough topics. A chance in Catherine's reading preferences. If there should be a word count limit on book titles. The fiction trend Catherine is sick of.

Join us and have a listen! Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
