Rooted in God's Nearness
At the heart of Learning to Breathe Again is a simple but powerful truth: God draws near to the brokenhearted. Through story, reflection, worship, and Scripture, this book gently reminds readers that grief does not push God away - it invites His presence closer.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
