The Mending the Soul workbook is best used with another person or within the context of a small group for either men or women who wish to receive support and help with recovery from their experiences of abuse whether sexual, physical, verbal, neglect or spiritual. The group works through the Mending the Soul Workbook, which is a complement to the book Mending the Soul: Understanding and Healing Abuse by Steven Tracy. In the group the nature and effects of abuse are discussed but the group also provides a Christ-centered, Biblically based model for support towards healing and recovery from abuse.
