    My Review:
    I found "Reclaiming Sanity: Hope and Healing for Trauma, Stress, and Overwhelming Life Events" by Dr. Laurel Shaler a helpful book. It is a book filled with practical ideals and suggestions for overcoming life events. The author shares examples from personal experiences from her own life and her clients. I recommend this book to anyone that needs to heal from trauma, stress, and overwhelming life events and to anyone that wants to help them heal. 
    This book is really easy to follow and is not technical at all and clearly points to Jesus. 
    There are chapters on forgiveness and anger and those two chapters are worth the read alone even if you don't read the entire book, but I must warn, you are losing a great deal of healing if you don't read the whole book.
    I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These are my own opinions.
