Overview

I love God and I know he loves me, so why can't I move beyond my past? Many have psychological fractures due to abuse and trauma that can cause conflicts between what they know is true about God and their lived experience. This book explores the importance of psychological justice by delving into the author's multiple encounters with death, grief, trauma, betrayal, sickness, and abuse. Walk with her and draw out the theological and psychological ways God has passionately brought psychological justice to her life. Tracing the threads of one's story can open a door of hope leading to a deeper and more congruent grace-filled walk with God the Father, our wonderful Savior Jesus, and the ever-present Holy Spirit. The author's prayer is that her vulnerability might give readers courage to find their own voice and begin to map out their own story.

"""Feeling wounded? Facing numbing losses? Tired of blandishments? Battling family of origin issues? Barely clinging on to the hope that healing in Christ is possible today? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, Lydia McSweeney's My Dance with Justice is the very book you've been waiting for. Come, read, and feast. You will not be disappointed."" --Phil Halstead, lecturer in pastoral care and counseling, Carey Baptist College ""This deeply personal story resounds with divine justice for the broken and abused. Lydia McSweeney's journey through family struggles, health concerns, and even death will challenge, stretch, and even shock you, but it is also likely to speak to your own need for the divine healer who brings joy in darkness and riches in the secret place. I thoroughly commend this work."" --Sarah Harris, research fellow, Carey Baptist College ""Lydia McSweeney's story is about justice and God's deep desire to come alongside the hurting, to lift up the broken, and to heal the wounded. But how can this happen? As you journey with Lydia as she retells her story--a story of joy and sorrow, confusion and betrayal, tragedy and hope--you will be encouraged to reflect on your own story and perhaps discover where Christ can meet your deepest need for psychological justice."" --Jacqueline Lloyd, senior research fellow, Laidlaw College"
