Hope for the Broken

Large Print Edition

"He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted... to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning." -Isaiah 61:1-3, NIV

Rebecca was no stranger to adversity. Marked as different from an early age by her visual disability and half-Filipino heritage, she tried her best to bury herself in the pages of a book. For years, she was able to find solace in stories, until an ill-fated battle with her own personal Goliath left her with a shattered heart and broken dreams.



Rebecca found herself at the darkest point in her life. All she knew was that she needed to finish school and find work so that she could continue to afford the expensive medicines that maintained what remained of her precious eyesight.

During the darkest point in her life, a miraculous encounter with God gave her a new hope and a new purpose. Rebecca accepted the call to ministry in the United Methodist Church, and since then, her life has never been the same.

By writing just fifteen minutes a day, you can find God's comfort and spiritual healing for your own life!

Redeemed by the gift of God's grace, Rebecca found her own "happy ending." In this book, Rebecca helps the reader to use the art of writing to find that same sense of purpose. It includes:

-Instructions to help you create your own Writer's Notebook
-Weekly Bible verses and prayers
-Daily writing prompts
-Exercises to help the reader connect to God
-Excerpts from Rebecca's own spiritual journals and poems

God bound up the pieces of Rebecca's heart and created something beautiful. Healing doesn't always look like we expect. Journey with her as you find your own place in the biblical story and hope for your own life.
