{"product_id":"so-many-tears-a-journey-for-his-glory","title":"So Many Tears: A Journey for His Glory","description":"Trauma in the African American community is real, as well as the call for those that experience it to remain silent and simply trust God. We are told to trust God with the pain, without being given resources to properly heal. Our voice to confront those who have brutalized us is typically taken away. We are taught not to snitch. We do not call the police on our own. What happens in our house stays in our house, is embedded into our psyche; theologies that cripple generations for a lifetime.\n\nWe are told therapy is not for us and somehow, we are expected to miraculously function as normal people in a society where we do not feel safe. Generational cycles perpetuate continued abuse and brokenness within a bloodline among men and women. Still, we are told to trust God and remain silent, suppress the pain, and all will be made well; until it is not.\nDepression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies are real reactions in response to real trauma experienced by African Americans. While God is the answer remaining and standing idle is not.\n\nIn this book, Lorraine Hopkins, is breaking the cycle and no longer remaining silent. Lorraine shares her fight with trauma, the effects and how it almost destroyed her. She also shares the Glory of God and how He saved her. Explore her journey, share her pain, possibly recognize, and acknowledge your own, and grow in the grace of God.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1943396043\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1943396043.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hopkins, Lorraine|Barfield, Cornette|Lee, Asa\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43336855846973,"sku":"BVV.1943396043.VG","price":20.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1943396043-0.jpg?v=1783810157","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/so-many-tears-a-journey-for-his-glory","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
