About
It could be your neighbor, your coworker, your son, or the woman sitting next to you in church. When combat veterans return from war, they're often confused. They struggle to reconnect with their families; the cheering crowds and smothering hugs make them want to jump out of their skin; and sometimes they even long to return to the hell of deployment.
What they've experienced in combat can radically change how they view themselves, others, and the world at large. They may have never seen so much hurt, suffering, death, and destruction, which leaves them questioning, "Where is God?"
Dr. Tiffany Tajiri, a veteran USAF officer and board-certified clinical psychologist, has been in countless sessions with combat veterans and their loved ones and now shares powerful first-hand accounts, lessons, proven exercises, and biblical truth. Whether experiencing combat directly as a veteran or wanting to help bring healing as a family member, pastor, chaplain, or counselor, this book is essential. The emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing encountered applies to anyone facing harsh realities and uncomfortable questions and hoping to find peace again.
“Peace after Combat: Healing the Spiritual and Psychological Wounds of War” masterfully combines story, neurobiology, and Scripture to help combat veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress-and their loved ones-heal mental, emotional, and spiritual wounds.
