Crumbled - Amanda F Schaefer - Bog

The Author wrote this book to connect with others. She willingly shares her brokenness, knowing that vulnerability is the key to both connection and healing. Throughout her life, Amanda found herself in unbearable situations which had left her scared. But as she got healthy, her scars somehow became her tattoos. Amanda boldly wears them as colorful stories which she is always ready to share. The most authentic thing about this woman is that she cares about people in a day and age when it seems an unfashionable attribute. Amanda wants to invite you into her world. She values the experiences of others and holds them gently in her heart when shared with her. When broken lives are encouraged and healed, they become beautiful mosaics, somehow more lovely put back together than before they were broken. The redemption of what was thought lost is the most poignant part of one's story. The Author wants to encourage you to find your way into a freedom that can only come from a restored identity and a healed heart. The foreword states, "This is a book that will challenge and encourage you. It is more than a compilation of Amanda's stories; it's an opportunity to see how God can and will work in the life of anyone who is open to His leading. It's also an opportunity to think deeply about your own life and gain a sense of where God might be leading you."
