Hurting in the Church (eBook)

âHurting in the Church provides a psychologically wise and spiritually profound path forward for Catholics who have been abused, traumatized, or wounded by other Catholics â especially those in leadership. Chapter 10 on how to recover oneâs belief in and love for the Church is worth the price of the book alone!â -- Sherry Weddell, Best-selling author of Forming Intentional Disciples

âAn honest and much-needed book that addresses ⦠the many Catholics who feel marginalized, ignored, hurt, insulted and even abused by the Church.ââFr. James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

âIt took courage for Father Berg to write with such honesty and transparency, and his courage will give you courageânot only to confront sin and weakness within the Church, but also to give God another chance to help you rediscover him within the embrace of the Church despite the failings of her members.ââFr. Jonathan Morris, author of New York Times Bestseller, The Way of Serenity

âHere is an unflinching examination of the Churchâs brokenness ⦠along with practical advice and the promise of hope for the challenging path forward. Fearless in his assessment, Father Berg is equally confident that in Jesus and with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can move toward healing and wholeness.ââCardinal Timothy Dolan
