Overview
Author and founder of Broken Crayons Still Color, Toni Collier shows readers that it's not only possible to heal from the things that have broken you but that you can build a strong, life-giving community to support you, be with you in the valleys, and speak love and truth into your life as God puts you back together again.
There's no avoiding pain in this world. Whether it's in the form of betrayal, trauma, illness, grief, or abandonment, we've all experienced the kind of pain that completely consumes us and transforms how we show up in the world. Whatever pain is felt, we're often left feeling alone, ashamed, and unsure where to turn for help. We're not sure we can trust others again, we pull back from social engagement, and we feel as if our hearts may never recover. But it doesn't have to be this way.
In her new book, Toni Collier shares how we can have hope in the midst of our most difficult days when we let others in. Opening up about her own experiences of walking through heartbreak, betrayal, and suffering, she shows us the importance of being vulnerable and allowing others to come alongside us as we heal--instead of trying to do it on our own--and gives us practical advice for how to actually heal.
Don't Try This Alone will encourage and guide readers to
- discover that healing is a hard, nonlinear, but worthwhile journey;
- understand why being alone in their pain is dangerous;
- identify problematic thoughts and the misguided responses from others that keep them trapped in toxic patterns; and
- recognize the qualities of safe people.
Toni teaches us that in every tough circumstance, the way forward is always with God and his people. The hard stuff is coming, but we can get through it if we don't do it alone.
