Also see our Links under “Trauma & PTSD,” “Spiritual Healing” and “Music” and recommended books on our Booklist.

Note: Worldwide Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, and its authoritative offshoots teach a false, cruel God. Any articles on this website that mention God are those that reveal a God whose love is everlasting, and who is full of mercy, grace and compassion, giving Himself freely to meet our deepest needs. He manifested His love to us by revealing Himself through His Son, Christ Jesus, who saves us eternally by His grace and not by any works that we might try to do.
