Ep. 85: Circling Back to Spring 2021 Preview Books with Catherine (@GilmoreGuide)

from Sarah's Bookshelves Live · host Sarah Dickinson | Sarah's Bookshelves

In the Spring 2021 Book Preview (Ep. 80), Catherine and I shared our most anticipated books coming out April – May 2021. But, we often haven't read the books we share in the Preview Episodes. So, in this new series, we will "circle back" to update you on all the books we presented in the previous season's Book Preview now that we've at least attempted to read them.

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.
