Grace for the Wounded: A Daily Devotional for Those in Recovery

By Eddie Olivas III

Grace for the Wounded is a daily devotional and summary of the disease of addiction. The devotions are comprised of a collection of writings from Project Soul Care. Project Soul Care is a daily inspirational that is e-mailed to hundreds daily. Each devotional has three paramount themes: trusting in God, the importance of perseverance, and the power of Gods word to transform both the mind and confounding circumstances. Because the author is both a chaplain and a clinician he is mindful of the importance of ones spiritual interior and was able to integrate this perspective throughout the book. The devotional was mined from a heart that has experienced years of suffering that comes from providing direct care to innumerable individuals from all walks of life. He refers to this care as, prolonged psychological CPR. He especially aspires that this book will edify and encourage those in the field who continue to work in places that may be very challenging and void of hope
