Produktbeschreibung

The Out of the Depths series addresses common pastoral crises in a faithful, encouraging, and factual manner that provides support to parishioners in crisis beyond the initial pastoral conversation. These inexpensive 64-page booklets can be given out to parishioners when they bring their recent diagnosis, crisis, or trauma to the pastor as a way to continue to provide care throughout the difficult season. Each booklet begins with a thoughtful consideration of the topic at hand, which is followed up by 30 brief devotions. These devotions are designed to be manageable in an overwhelming time, encouraging, and honest. This Sexual Assault edition features devotions from Emily Flemming, United Methodist clergywoman. The Out of the Depths booklets are essential care resources to be given out by pastors, Stephen Ministers, and congregational care teams.

Autorenporträt

Rev. Emily Flemming is an ordained Elder in the Mountain Sky Conference of the United Methodist Church (UMC). Raised Southern Baptist in South Carolina, she came to United Methodism through a missionary church in Germany, where she lived for 12 years. Emily loves the mountains, music, travel, craft beer, and her friends and family around the world. A former corporate headhunter (MBA), German teacher (BA), and competitive tap dancer, Emily has many passions and even more energy. As solo pastor of First UMC of Windsor, Colorado, her heart and hands are full with ministry and her family: husband, Regis; daughter, Lillian; and son, Isaak. Writing is her retreat, and Emily is honored to share her experiences of healing from sexual assault in this, her first publication.
