Therapy is part of the healing process. Think physical or occupational therapy after an illness or operation. Think psychotherapy for emotional troubles. Faith can be injured, too. Faith is not agreeing with some doctrinal statement. It is developing trust in an unseen but living presence. It is the settled trust that God knows better than we do what's good for us. Trials and tribulations are not only part of life, but part of God's plan. They can greatly injure faith to where we need therapy for  it.Some of us receive information best by reading it. Others by listening. Vanessa Collins provides both, an ebook with links to an audio version of each chapter. In either case, it's not a fast read--at least not if you want therapeutic value. Read or listen to a chapter. Grapple with the content. Each chapter ends with follow-up questions that demand honest answers. Go on to the next chapter the next day--or maybe go through the same one two days in a row. Then, not long after getting through the last chapter, start from the beginning again. If this were a print book, I'd wear it out faster than almost anything else I own. (I buy Bibles with very good binding!)
