Beyond the Scar: Healing the Wounds of Trauma Pain changes us. Trauma wounds us. But the story doesn't end there. In *Beyond the Scar: Healing the Wounds of Trauma*, chaplain and author Dr. Steve West offers a compassionate, faith-rooted journey of restoration for those navigating the deep wounds of trauma. Whether you are a trauma survivor, a caregiver, a chaplain, a counselor, or a loved one walking alongside someone in pain, this book provides the tools and theological insight to move beyond survival into the healing presence of Christ. Drawing on his experience as a hospital and military chaplain, Steve West guides readers through 21 chapters of trauma-informed, spiritually grounded guidance, each grounded in biblical truth and enriched by real-life stories, practical tools, and clinical insights. From flashbacks and grief to rebuilding identity and learning to trust again, this book does not shy away from the hard realities of trauma. But neither does it stop at brokenness. With empathy and wisdom, Steve illuminates the resilient path to restoration, where scars become sacred marks of God's redemptive work. Each chapter addresses a different aspect of trauma's impact and the healing process. Readers will explore: - What trauma does to the brain, body, and soul - How triggers and flashbacks hijack our peace - Why trust and identity are so deeply wounded-and how to rebuild them - The power of spiritual disciplines to ground and restore - How to walk with others in their pain without burning out - What Scripture reveals about suffering, healing, and divine presence - Why some wounds re-open-and what to do when the pain returns - How to find beauty, purpose, and even joy beyond the scar Written with both candor and care, *Beyond the Scar* is not a quick fix. It is a steady companion on the long road of healing. With biblical passages in each chapter, therapeutic wisdom, personal prayers, and reflection questions, it creates space for both deep understanding and lasting transformation. This book is especially ideal for: - Trauma survivors seeking hope - Pastors and chaplains guiding others through grief and suffering - Counselors and therapists who integrate faith into care - Support group leaders and members - Loved ones of those living with PTSD or a trauma history Whether the trauma was recent or long ago, isolated or chronic, individual or collective, *Beyond the Scar* offers readers a way forward-not by ignoring the pain, but by encountering it with God's truth, comfort, and transforming love. *Your trauma may shape you, but it does not define you. Your scars are real-but so is your healing. Come walk the path beyond the scar.*

With a longstanding career spanning from emergency medical technician, police officer, military chaplain, pastor, and hospital chaplain, it's no wonder that he retired in 2015 as a United States Air Force Chaplain after serving the White House Communications Agency and two Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In addition to this impressive list of accomplishments, Dr. West is also an award-winning author, with his book "The Bronze Scar: Understanding How PTSD Feels to Help Victims and Those Who Support Them," demonstrating his unwavering commitment to helping those who are often overlooked or neglected within society. To top off this inspiring picture, he is happily married to Cherri West with two children, Adam and Jennifer. Currently, Dr. West serves as Director of Chaplaincy for the National Association of Evangelicals, where people can expect guidance, support, and knowledge under his wise instruction.
