Far too many Catholics have had painful experiences in the Church, and many have simply opted to walk away. Fr. Berg opens his book with the story of the painful and life-changing crisis he experienced in the Church that ultimately, against the odds, led him to love the Church more intensely notwithstanding the sinfulness of its members. Along with his own story, Fr. Berg intertwines the stories of other Catholics who have themselves experienced life-changing hurts, but who, in Jesus, found healing. Riding the momentum of the Year of Mercy, Fr. Berg offers these reflections as a necessary examination of conscience, and a clarion call to Catholics to become healers of an ailing inner culture of our Church, to heed Pope Francis's call to incite a -revolution of tenderness- in our faith communities. Ultimately, this book is about hope for wounded believers: If you have been hurt in the Church, Jesus can take you on a journey through your wounds, a journey of healing that will make you an even better human being, a better Christian, and a better disciple.

“Hurting in the Church provides a psychologically wise and spiritually profound path forward for Catholics who have been abused, traumatized, or wounded by other Catholics — especially those in leadership. Chapter 10 on how to recover one’s belief in and love for the Church is worth the price of the book alone!” -- Sherry Weddell, Best-selling author of Forming Intentional Disciples “An honest and much-needed book that addresses ... the many Catholics who feel marginalized, ignored, hurt, insulted and even abused by the Church.”—Fr. James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage “It took courage for Father Berg to write with such honesty and transparency, and his courage will give you courage—not only to confront sin and weakness within the Church, but also to give God another chance to help you rediscover him within the embrace of the Church despite the failings of her members.”—Fr. Jonathan Morris, author of New York Times Bestseller, The Way of Serenity “Here is an unflinching examination of the Church’s brokenness ... along with practical advice and the promise of hope for the challenging path forward. Fearless in his assessment, Father Berg is equally confident that in Jesus and with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can move toward healing and wholeness.”—Cardinal Timothy Dolan ABOUT THE AUTHOR Father Berg is professor of moral theology and vice-rector at St Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, NY. He earned his doctorate in philosophy at Rome’s Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum. In addition to scholarly work in bioethics, he has also been published or quoted in Homiletic & Pastoral Review, Crisis Magazine, First Things, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. An avid runner, hiker, and cigar aficionado, he escapes as often as he can to Cape May, New Jersey.

Have we forgotten what is really important in this life we live? Are we just passing through not really knowing what our purpose is or what the meaning of life is anyway? What direction is the church going? What has happened to the real meaning of one body, one church? What does it mean to be unified as one body? These are some of the questions people have in regards to this thing we call the journey of life. Life does not have to be as complex as we sometimes can make it. It's called one step at a time, one day at a time. It's time to be real with one another and stop pretending to be someone we are not. My hope is that you will be inspired by reading THE HURTING CHURCH.

If you’ve been part of a church, you have probably suffered a “church hurt”—or know someone who has. Maybe the pastor had an affair or the congregation fought over money or the leaders were disguising gossip as “prayer.” Stephen Mansfield knows how it feels. Though he is now a New York Times bestselling author, he was a pastor for more than 20 years, and he loved it—until he learned how much a church can hurt. Yet he also learned how to dig out of that hurt, break through the bitterness and anger, stop making excuses, and get back to where he ought to be with God and his people. If you’re ready to choose the tough path to healing, Mansfield will walk you through it with brotherly love, showing you how you can be better than ever on the other side of this mess—if you’re willing to start Healing Your Church Hurt.

People hurting people with their words and actions is a known reality in most of our Christian environments, and this kind of pain can affect the lives of Christians all over the world. Insults and ridicule have become commonplace in our society and in our churches, and many of us have begun to speak critically of our brothers and sisters in Christ, never giving a thought to the consequences or the emotional pain that is can cause. Church Hurts and the Healing Process invites Christians to consider their own church hurts--both the ones they've experience and the ones they've inflicted. Author Dot Kelley shares biblical advice and wisdom for treating the wounds we can experience while on our Christian walks with our fellow brothers and sisters. And through the healing power of forgiveness, Christians can learn how to manage their relationships and trust in God's love to make the necessary changes. In the end, embracing this gift from God will help us love beyond our pain. You can receive healing through acts of unconditional love and forgiveness for others. And Church Hurts and the Healing Process can restore your wounded heart through humility, helping you to display God's kind of love and forgiveness--the same kind of love that he showed when Christ shed his blood for us on the Cross at Calvary.

My prayer is that every hurt you have encountered throughout your life will be released from you as you go through the various chapters. Like a person who sets a goal to lose weight, you will set a goal in your mind and heart today, and you will begin working hard to lose hurts that have been keeping you from your destiny and the land of promise. Many of you think because you are walking in the newness of life everyone else is traveling the same road. The mind you now have is the mind of Christ, and your sole purpose is to please God. You do not expect to deal with drama in the church. You expect to see a noticeable difference between the unsaved and those who profess salvation. The dreadful cycle of hurt has damaged, wounded, and killed many people in the church. No matter how hard you try to camouflage the pain inside, it is not hidden. You can cover bruises, scars, and cuts, but hurt to the heart shows in various forms that are noticeable. Evangelist Joyce L. Carelock is known for her words of encouragement, wisdom and her passionate call to motivate others to do the will of God. By the mercies of God she has moved out in faith to help others identify and understand their God given abilities. She believes that God has her in this place for a time such as this. Her motto is: "If I can have it, God can Heal It." She is determined to believe God no matter what! She has spoken at many women's retreats and conferences, etc. With joy, she now serves as First Lady of Grace and Mercy Cathedral COGIC, in Chantilly, VA.

Church should be a safe place, right? Then why do so many get hurt there? Ray Beeson and Chris Hayward combine their years of ministry experience to address head-on the elephant in the room: church members and church leaders hurt Christians. All the time. And the long-lasting effects—rejection, shame, despair, loneliness, fear—can be devastating. The authors have witnessed the rise of the “dones,” those who are just done with God thanks to scars from church. With first-person stories of hurt and loss, this book is a wake-up call for any who deny woundedness in the church but is also a redemptive message for any who hurt from church wounds. Leaders and laypeople alike will learn how to grieve over abuse, to leave unhealthy attitudes and patterns that cause pain, and to trust in God’s real, delivering work through churches that build up, not tear down. Thanks to the grace of God, there is always hope beyond the pain.

Matthew 23:23 - "Woe to you ... you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have neglected ... matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith ... neglecting the others."One soul begging for mercy. One pastor trapped in his sins. What do you do when the church you love turns on you? When you worship one thing above all else?For one woman it's her God, but for one man it's not. When the Devil whispers in your ear, the sound is sweet as honey and the rewards are twice as sweet as sugar. Everything is great until the high is gone and one man comes crashing back down to Earth from his temple he built to the sky. A destruction built on the backs of those he claimed to love. What would you do when your church hurt you?

Shouldn't the Church be a safe place for everyone? However, for many it hasn't always turned out that way. For some it's been a place of hurts and disappointments instead of hope, healing and spiritual direction. Hurts are common to the body of Christ everywhere, and are routinely exploited by Satan as diversions against the Church... to splinter and scatter the sheep if possible, to wound sincere believers and leaders, and to cause great harm to the work and mission of our Lord Jesus Christ. So what can we do? Despite our best efforts, we cannot prevent hurts from occurring entirely. We can only preempt Satan's mischief by becoming prepared and "immunized" in advance of what we know is inevitable. The purpose of this book is to help prepare and protect you from the offenses that are sure to come (Luke 17:1). By becoming equipped with the wise instruction and counsel of the Word of God, you can resist such harmful effects and remain steadfast to your faith in God, and with your relationships within the body of Christ.
