Publisher's summary

In Healing a Shattered Soul, Mindy Corporon invites listeners to join her search for inspiration and hope after domestic terrorism took the lives of her father and son. Headlines about the attack circled the world. Now, Mindy takes listeners inside her family’s struggle, the support of their faith community, and her commitment to courageous kindness. A popular speaker, teacher and writer, Mindy has dedicated her life to encouraging kindness, faith, and healing in congregations, companies, and communities. Among the programs she has co-founded with this vision are the Faith Always Wins Foundation and Workplace Healing, LLC. She explains that she wrote this audiobook “for those who are seeking inspiration; for those who are searching for a glimmer of hope and faith; and for those in need of necessary, supportive relationships, even in the hardest times”.

In his Foreword, best-selling author and pastor the Rev. Adam Hamilton writes, “Mindy Corporon’s story helps us understand how one survives tragedy, and says to the reader, "If Mindy can survive this, and can do what she has done, then surely I can survive the adversity I face and can bring something good from it".

The audiobook’s Preface is a heart-felt appeal to listeners from another mother who suffered a tragic loss to domestic terrorism in recent years. Susan Bro is the mother of Heather Heyer, killed in Charlottesville, Virginia. In her Preface, Susan writes, “Mothers lose their children to violence every day, and yet many have no time to grieve and receive little to no public support or attention. We must hold space in our hearts and minds for them as we continue to overcome hate with love...We never want other mothers to experience the pain and loss of losing a loved one, especially a child, to hate. I am honored to call Mindy Corporon my friend. Her book offers hope in a time of pain, pointing the way forward with faith and love. Read it and be encouraged to find your own way forward through pain and loss".

Finding good from an evil act

Many of us heard of the tragic events on April 13, 2014. It was Palm Sunday, and a distinguished physician and his beloved grandson were gunned down by a white supremacist. A completely pointless act of hatred that threw the entire family and community into a tailspin. Mindy Corporon was determined from the very beginning to see good come from evil. This is what her Christian faith teaches, and Mindy worked through her own grief and the grief of her family over the ensuing years to make a difference in the world around her.

Tragedies like this happen all too often, but in many cases the tragedy is the end of the story. In this case, Mindy passionately and artfully walks us through what her family, friends, and greater community went through in the aftermath of this senseless act. By shining a light on the various healing processes which were different for each member of the family, Mindy gives us hope and possible ways for others to heal in the aftermath of tragedy.

I highly recommend that you purchase this book, listen to it, dive into the family story, and find yourself stronger and richer for having done so!

A must read for anyone who has experience trauma due to hate crimes.

I’ve listened to over 200 audio books and have never given a single one of them 5 stars in each category. Healing a Shattered Soul is my first as it touched me so personally. Having experiencing significant trauma and loss in my own life, I understand the need for spirituality to guide one through the healing process. Mindy‘s inspiring words drive home the crucial need of faith to help one heal.

Healing a Shattered Soul

This is such a brave recount of the trauma and devastation thrust in the Corporon family. The strength, faith, and perseverance presented in this book is astounding. Thank you for sharing your story and I enjoyed that Mindy was the narrator.
