Tiffany Tajiri - Peace after Combat: Healing the Spiritual and Psychological Wounds of War

What people are saying about

PEACE AFTER COMBAT

Dr. Tajiris book brings the reader intimately close to the challenges and life-changing journey of combat to transformative healing from the wounds of war. As a combat veteran with multiple deployments and extended times in the carnage of war, I heartily recommend this book to veterans, their loved ones, and those who seek to understand or join the healing journey with our veterans.

Dr. Roderick Mills, LtCol (Ret.) Army, president of AeroNova Ministries, adjunct professor at Regent University, senior fellow of the Center for Transformational Living

Powerful! As a person of faith, Dr. Tajiri applies her clinical training, her military experience as an officer, her walk with God, and her knowledge of Scripture to promote the healing of emotional and spiritual wounds that plague many of our military service personnel.

Robert Johnson, COL, PhD, forensic neuropsychologist

Taking on this topic requires bravery, and Dr. Tiffany demonstrates plenty. This book is a no-holds-barred approach to dealing with the effects of combat trauma. As a veteran (and now a licensed therapist myself) who has dealt with the impact of PTSD and the suicide of my fellow Soldiers, I am grateful for a book that is so direct.

Bobby Jackson, LCSW, pastoral coach, cofounder of Rallypoint Ministry, author of Regroup curriculum, former Army Soldier and medic

Military chaplains must get their hands on this book and use it as a force multiplier for spiritual healing before and after combat. As a Chaplain and combat veteran, I have been touched by the freeing and uplifting insight in this book. Its real and gritty nature allows our loved ones to see the truth of whats brewing in our soulsyet instills hope through faith for a better tomorrow.

Soon Jung, MAJ (R), Army Chaplain, 6-9th Sqd, 9th US Cavalry

Pastoring in El Paso, Texas, home to Fort Bliss and many Army heroes, I know firsthand the great need for the content in this book. Dr. Tajiri communicates her heart to help, along with profound wisdom and much-needed information. This book inspires and reminds us that hope and healing are possible!

Shannon Nieman, lead pastor of Abundant Church, founder of One Sisterhood

Dr. Tajiri doesnt shy away from the gritty reality that gives birth to the gauntlet of fear, regret, and guilt of our returning warriors. She does a wonderful job of balancing science, Scripture, and warrior-speak in a welcoming approach that meets the Service Member where they currently are. I hope this book gets into the hands of every returning Service Member struggling to reconcile their faith with their deployed experiences and every family member struggling to understand them in turn.

Peace after Combat is a direct hit to the heart of the matter. In real time and authentic ways, Dr. Tajiri reaches in and accosts the racing thoughts and questions that suffocate our Service Members, veterans, and first responders. The promise to leave no man or woman behind is officially fulfilled amid these pages, among the hearts, souls, and bone marrow of our brothers and sisters who have answered the call.

Everyone knows that setbacks can happen in life. Unfortunately, most people do not have the skills, tools, and recourses to work through lifes challenges. Dr. Tiffany has spent much of her life helping people work through difficult situations. In her new book, she gives incredible insight and tools to help us regain the life we were intended to live.

Tim Storey, acclaimed author, speaker, pastor, life coach

As the South Texas regional director for the Birdwell Foundation for PTSD, I endorse without reluctance Dr. Tiffany Tajiris phenomenal book Peace after Combat. Within this book lies the truth, remedy, and direction for our military, first responders, and those preparing to deploy. This book is the complete guidance you will need.

Mike Gonzales, CW3 (Ret.), Army, Military Occupational Skills 11B Infantry, 88M Platoon Sergeant, 882A Mobility Warrant Officer; Saudi Arabia 1997, Afghanistan 2002, Iraq 2004, 2009

Dr. Tajiri eloquently weaves personal stories of combat trauma recovery with the redemptive healing power of our loving Savior. Her traditional clinical methods are complimented by spiritual truths helpful for all who are fighting their own inner battles. Peace after Combat is an inspirational guide for those who seek recovery and, ultimately, Gods plan for their life.

Jon Allman, president & CEO of Endeavors

Accurate! This is a book I would recommend to any combat veteran and military couple regardless of branch. Should be a part of every Generals reading list.

Dr. Tajiri brings incredible insight toward helping and healing our hurting heroes. Her illustrations are real; the pain and darkness she deals with are genuine and destructive. Yet she does not back down from helping her patientsand all of us who desire to help the hurtingby focusing on real truths that bring light, healing, and restoration.

Charles Nieman, founder and senior pastor of Abundant Living Faith Center

Wow! Immediate connection from the start! Dr. Tiffanys words are the truth my husband lives every day, making it easier for him to share his story and speak about his once deeply buried emotions. It helped normalize our experiences as a couple and has brought new hope for continued healing through Jesus Christ.

Gina Montalbano, PhD educational leadership, Army wife

As a retired Army recruiter, I believe firmly that this book should be given to Soldiers early in their career. Soldiers need to go into deployment knowing that God is not the author of the destruction they may encounter. We must equip them to be resilient physically, mentally, and spiritually. Get this book into as many hands as possible.

Lloyd Parker, 1Sgt (Ret.), Operations and Intelligence Air Defense, Infantry, and Army Recruiting

Leading a recovery ministry alongside Dr. Tiffany, I have seen firsthand the incredible breakthroughs achieved using Rhythm Restoration. This book blends science and faith in a way I have never seen before. I can only imagine how liberating it will be for so many men and women to learn that they can be free and enjoy life again.

Jimmy Salas, executive pastor, Abundant Church

Peace after Combat is a refreshing addition to the body of literature currently available dealing with PTSD. Dr. Tajiri acknowledges that science is of God and not in conflict with Him. Any true healing must be based on relationship with the Lord. She offers hope for healing and reconciliation for anyone who struggles with PTSD.

James C. Harbridge, LTC (Ret.) Army, field staff with Officers Christian Fellowship

After reading the book, we both felt as though we were better equipped to provide mentoring for fellow veterans wherever we meet them. Moreover, the book helped us understand our military experiences in a new contextembedded in faith and love.

Jeffrey (Jeff) J. Pickard, COL (Ret.), USAF, and Heather E. Pickard, USAF veteran, Key Spouse mentor

This book is a must for the returning veteran struggling to cope with the imbalances of reconciling violent and dramatic combat episodes with loved ones who see drastic change yet want to help, but dont know how. Recommended!
