Brave Enough to Be Broken: How to Embrace Your Pain and Discover Hope and Healing (Hardcover)

Many of us feel the pressure to be perfect. What we long for is the freedom to be broken. Toni Collier, founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, knows what brokenness feels like-and the shame that comes with it. After experiencing abuse, spiritual manipulation, and toxic relationships, Toni feared pain would always define her. Then she discovered that God's love wasn't a distant dream. It was a force for change in her life. In Brave Enough to Be Broken, Toni shares practical steps and biblical wisdom to help us name and embrace our brokenness in light of God's tenderness. She encourages each of us to: Recognize the lingering impact of trauma and toxic relationships. Surrender to the God who never wants us to carry pain by ourselves. Live beyond shame and regret without numbing ourselves to the past. Understand how finding our own healing helps bring healing to others. Brave Enough to Be Broken is an invitation to reclaim the hope and wholeness waiting for you in the fullness of God's purpose for your life. Exchange your weakness for God's strength. Your brokenness for His healing. Your weariness for His abundant life-and for the joy of being brave enough to be broken. Book jacket.
