Recovering from Un-Natural Disasters is a must-read

handbook for pastors and church leaders of communities who could or perhaps already

have experienced an un-natural disaster, such as gun violence, suicides, or sexual

abuse.

Unlike natural disasters, un-natural disasters

deal with the concept of sin and require a different recovery strategy. In this

book, readers will explore the four phases of human-caused disaster

Devastation and Heroism, Disillusionment, Reforming, and Wisdom and

receive step-by-step suggestions to use with their faith community during the

recovery process. Example worship resources, including prayers, music suggestions,

and sermons that are appropriate to use during periods of trauma and recovery, are

included.
