We are each individually and collectively creating the reality we currently find ourselves in. Is it working for most people? This book is my personal story on how I ended up where I did. From my exploration you can also see why you have ended up where you have. Our societal systems are fractured and outdated. A crisis in consciousness is our problem. Free yourself from your limited reality and really be free to explore more expansive solutions.

William Kercher sees the world in a slightly different way. Reality isn't fixed. It's what you make of it. In this collection of stories, he captures his view of the world. Sit back and enjoy his take on reality.

Mass trauma is an unavoidable reality in the United States. Trauma from violence, natural disasters, and disease has become all too familiar in the American experience, inevitably raising questions about where God is to be found in the midst of such tragedies. In every case, the aftermath leaves communities’ sense of well-being broken and capacity to imagine a way forward thwarted. Though language often fails us in the midst of trauma, preachers and religious leaders are nevertheless called on to offer a Word. Fractured Ground helps pastors craft sermons that fully plumb the disorienting suffering created by events of mass trauma, while still offering an authentic word of hope. Kimberly Wagner provides both incisive explanations of what trauma is and especially how it affects communities of faith, along with practical guidance for crafting sermons that reflect the brokenness of the traumatic situation and the persistent love of God that binds the broken together. Drawing on the burgeoning field of trauma studies, eschatological theologies of hope, scriptural wisdom, and liturgies of lament, Wagner helps preachers imagine what it might mean to preach a narratively fractured sermon in the aftermath of a communal traumatic event, ultimately affirming that no amount of brokenness is beyond the presence and promise of God.

Fractured Reality is a collection of short stories that look at the world in a different way than most people see it. From mystery to horror to action, these stories stimulate the thinking and make the reader consider how the world really is.
