“Trees of Righteousness – A Book about Jesus’ Three Examples in Healing from Trauma, Grief, and Pain”
Jesus provides us with three very solid techniques for handling the most painful experiences in life. They are the same ones that He employed while dealing with His own trauma, grief, and pain.
Every human being on this planet has experienced these things. Many books have been written about trauma and grief, and there are even some that have been written about the ways that the Lord helps us through the worst days of our lives. But there are very few books written on the specific ways that Jesus Himself dealt with His own trauma, grief, and pain. Since He is to be our example in all things, Trees of Righteousness is an attempt to find and describe the three specific ways that Jesus understands, processes, and even re-directs trauma, grief, and pain for our healing, and for His own ends of kingdom growth and the salvation of all who will accept it.
Chaplain Robert Mills, pulling from his 31 years in ministry, including 17 years as an active-duty chaplain in the U.S. Navy, has written Trees of Righteousness –a book full of stories and anecdotes from his experiences in the Navy, as a youth ministry leader, a pastor, and as a hospital chaplain. These true stories – some funny, some sad – help to illustrate the ways that Jesus teaches us to process our trauma through surrender, forgiveness, and telling our stories. Chaplain Mills approaches trauma recovery from a nuanced and principled perspective, bringing a strong personal faith to the problems that so many people face.
