Reviews

"An invaluable resource ... very readable... very practical; comprehensive without being cumbersome; relevant in a variety of contexts. It moved me, inspired me and informed me. How encouraging to know that this book is not just about theory, but about application that I have seen you put into practice - that works!"

-- Scott McCracken, team leader, Athens Refugee Ministries, International Teams

"Creating Hope for Children in Crisis provides a unique approach of interpreting healing from trauma through the lens of resiliency factors. This book offers readers a wealth of culturally adaptive ideas, activities, programs and strategies that build resiliency not only within children, but also within families. This is a resource you will keep coming back to at various stages of your ministry development. "

-- Phyllis Kilbourn, director of Crisis Care International

"This is an excellent resource born out of much love, dedication and pain. It starts with two important foci for people working with children at risk the family and yourself... It has a wide range of excellent resources that can be adapted to children's ministries around the world."
