Dear Reader, The fires in LA. Hurricane Helene in the Southeast. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent. People who thought they were immune are now being impacted. Last fall, I followed Emma Churchman’s unfolding story on Facebook about living in the wake of Hurricane Helene, as she and her husband navigated living without power, internet, cell phone service, or even functional roads. Her story has now become a book. I personally know Emma, and I highly recommend that you read her new book, The Deep End of Hope in the Wake of Hurricane Helene: 40 Days and Nights of Survival and Transformation. The book delivers a unique, boots-on-the-ground perspective on survival, recovery, and transformation in the aftermath of a catastrophic hurricane. Combining on-the-ground observations, reflections on trauma recovery, and a compassionate narrative, the book captures the human spirit’s resilience in unprecedented adversity. Pamela Prince-Eason, the President and CEO of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) said, “This is the best book I have read in my lifetime.” For entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders especially, it’s important to understand how to guide yourself, your business and your team through traumatic events. This books helps you to know what to do. This book is also a fundraiser. A portion of the proceeds from The Deep End of Hope will go to Mennonite Disaster Service, as they were one of the first groups on the ground helping Emma’s community with recovery. The book is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Indigo Books and other online retailers (links below). The author, Emma M. Churchman, MDiv, is a trauma chaplain, Quaker minister, and national speaker with decades of experience supporting communities through crisis and recovery. Her work brings a unique blend of storytelling, spirituality, and practical guidance.
