In his insightful new book, She’s in Hiding, Dr. Clarence E.S. Jones, DD, offers an accessible guide for individuals grappling with trauma, and provides faith communities with a roadmap for supporting healing and resilience. This deeply personal and spiritually thoughtful work is beginning to gain attention from readers and leaders alike.
Stories That Resonate and Heal
At the core of She’s in Hiding are the stories of three women—Sarah, Emma, and Tasha—each navigating the challenges of abuse and adversity. Their experiences are shared with empathy and honesty, offering a glimpse into the very real struggles faced by many. While each journey to healing is unique, the stories offer guidance that can resonate with a wide audience. Dr. Jones demonstrates that healing is possible, even when the path seems uncertain, and that these difficult experiences can lead to greater strength and purpose.
Faith as the Foundation for Recovery
One of the central themes of this book is the emphasis on faith as both a foundation and an active force in the healing process. Dr. Jones integrates scripture throughout, offering spiritual encouragement alongside practical tools for readers. The book’s message reinforces the idea that many people find comfort in knowing that God sees, understands, and loves them, especially during difficult times. This sense of reassurance is particularly meaningful for those who may feel lost or unworthy during their recovery journey.
A Practical Resource for Churches and Support Groups
She’s in Hiding is not only a source of inspiration but also a practical resource. Dr. Jones provides concrete steps for individuals and communities to follow, including how to establish trauma-informed ministries, build supportive networks, and use personal stories as sources of empowerment. The structure of the book—complete with reflection questions and scripture references—makes it an ideal resource for small groups, church workshops, and counseling sessions.
Championing the Power of Community
A vital aspect of the book is its focus on the importance of community. Dr. Jones explains how faith communities can offer not just spiritual guidance but also tangible assistance—such as legal aid, mentorship, and advocacy. Through the stories of Sarah, Emma, and Tasha, the book illustrates how collective action and mutual support can play an essential role in both individual and collective transformation. Dr. Jones argues that for many people, having a supportive community is key to the healing process.
A Call to Step Out of Hiding
One of the most powerful messages in She’s in Hiding is the call to step out of hiding and into the light. Dr. Jones encourages readers to confront their pain, seek help, and embrace the healing that faith and community offer. The book concludes with a hopeful invitation: “Your story is still being written. Let God be the author, and watch how He brings transformation and new purpose from your experiences.”
