Deep as the Sea
Letters to Survivors of Trauma
Physical or emotional abuse, accidents, unforeseen loss, military combat, and other tragedies remind us that we live in a fallen world. The painful emotions that arise from these circumstances often linger long after the experience is over.
This book is not a devotional or self-help guide, but a carefully written walkthrough of the healing process. Using his doctoral expertise on addressing trauma through a Christian lens, Pastor Timothy Bourman will help you grieve through the pain, find refuge in God, and discover a new purpose in life. Pastor Bourman provides an overview of current psychological treatment models and many comforting Scripture readings to address the grief, sorrow, shame, anger, and other emotions that accompany traumatic events.
Pastor Timothy Bourman received a BA in the pastoral ministry at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN and then a Master of Divinity from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, WI. Since 2008 he has served as a missionary to New York City and its many cultures at Sure Foundation in Queens, NY. In 2020, he received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, MO, where he research the interaction between trauma, pastoral care, and homiletics.
