ISIS is terrorizing Christians in the Congo (DRC), radical Hindus are targeting believers in India, and our clients face imminent execution in Pakistan.

By Dr. Rhoda S. Slade

We all carry wounds—some visible, many buried deep beneath the surface. Life has a way of breaking us in places we never expected. Whether through betrayal, loss, trauma, or rejection, we find ourselves changed. Some call it baggage. Others call it brokenness. But I call it the evidence that we’ve lived.

When Damaged Goods Collide is not just a title; it’s a truth. This book is for those who’ve been labeled “too much,” “too broken,” or “not enough.” It’s for people who have loved deeply, fallen hard, and questioned whether healing is even possible—especially when trying to build something real with someone who is just as wounded.

The war on your Christian faith is escalating at a rate we've never seen.
