Editorial Book Review:

By William Reimers

Some books talk about trauma, but God Given Grit: How to Access Mind Body Healing to Overcome Trauma meets the reader where they are. This book is important because it doesn't think of healing as a theory or a far-off goal.  It talks about how to stay alive in a warm, practical way that gives hope without making it sound easy.

Reading this book feels steadying. There is a sense of being guided rather than instructed, which can be rare in trauma focused writing. The tone is kind, calm, and very positive. The book doesn't make you feel overwhelmed; it gives you room to breathe and think. It tells people to listen to their bodies, know their limits, and find strength in themselves that they may not be able to see yet. It feels like being grounded, like someone is next to you saying, "You're not broken."

The main ideas are about having faith, being aware of your nervous system, and the connection between your mind and body. The book is based on real-life events and spiritual beliefs, but its message is universal and goes beyond any one background. It talks to people who have been through trauma and didn't talk about it, or who have felt like they weren't in touch with their own body. The book is very personal, but the idea that healing is both spiritual and physical makes it more accessible to a wide range of people.

Jess Munson and Karen Munson write in a clear way with a point. The structure is easy to follow, with explanations, reflections, and activities that all work together. Their language is simple but deep, so it's easy to get across tough ideas without being too heavy. Some of the best times happen when the writer tells the reader to stop, pay attention, and do small things to keep themselves in check instead of trying to get quick results.

This book makes the reader feel like they can do things instead of putting pressure on them. It adds something important to the trauma literature because it focuses on dignity, patience, and hope that is felt in the body. This book is worth reading for anyone who wants to heal in a way that feels real and possible.
