Heath is for women who were sexually abused or for anyone. This would be a wonderful women's Bible study.<br /><i>Exposed </i>by Shannon Deitz. Shannon gives 30% of proceeds from the sale of her book to Maria Goretti Network <a href="http://www.mgoretti.org/">http://www.mgoretti.org/</a>, a non-profit self-help, support group for survivors of abuse.<br /><br />If you have read any of the 10 books recommended for this year's conference, we would like to hear your comments.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8719322121388924822-3851133380630986853?l=faithandtraumalightindarkness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Planning Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654395349672509095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719322121388924822.post-85884941711300793292010-11-27T15:44:00.003-06:002011-09-07T20:52:01.147-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div>I've received many positive comments regarding our 2010 conference, a couple suggesting "life changing" results. Each person commenting to me indicated a different experience which was noted as personally powerful and significant. Kyle Childress's sermon, "Cellar voices"; Vicki's poem; Miki Lynn's song at lunch; Pauline Patterson's quilt; Jim Lemon's program and the art work; Beth Toler's discussion of theological perspectives and her revelation of the impact of her brother's abuse to name just a few. Other participants were touched by their interactions with other participants or leaders. Several mentioned the impact of the art, poetry, music and dance. Thus, it seems our choosing to immerse the participants in the subject was beneficial.&nbsp;</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8719322121388924822-8588494171130079329?l=faithandtraumalightindarkness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00490612635967487311noreply@blogger.com0
