Publisher's summary

Read by the author with an audiobook-exclusive episode of Still Coloring with Toni Collier and bonus prayers for women in ministry and those going through divorce.

None of us are perfect. And that is okay!

Trauma, abuse, childhood wounds, and toxic relationships have broken us. But there is no shame in brokenness. In fact, it’s in our brokenness where the healing power of Jesus comes to find us.

Brave Enough to Be Broken is a biblical road map you can use to heal from the pain, the shame, and the regrets that have tried to steal your joy, so you can rest in the unconditional love, healing, and hope of Jesus.

From Toni Collier, founder of the international women's ministry Broken Crayons Still Color, Brave Enough to Be Broken will show you how to bravely process your brokenness so that you can experience the fullness of God's restoration power.

Many of us feel the pressure to be perfect, but what we really want is the freedom to be broken. We long to hear that our brokenness doesn't discount us, and we want a way out of the pain that threatens to overwhelm us.

Toni shares practical steps and biblical wisdom to help you stand in your brokenness and experience healing. No perfection required.

You’ll learn how to

• Overcome shame and other inner obstacles blocking you from healing
• Recognize the harmful effects of trauma and toxic relationships on your mental health
• Embrace your brokenness so you can help others do the same
• Hear the voice of Jesus saying “you ARE worthy” when you don’t feel it
• Accept the unconditional love of Jesus when you surrender your brokenness

Brave Enough to Be Broken will guide you to the hope that is found in pain and the beauty that exists in brokenness. It's an invitation to reclaim the wholeness and freedom waiting for you in the fullness of God's purpose for your life.

Real and Relatable

I love how real and transparent she is in telling her story. She gives hope that healing is possible no matter what you’ve been through.

So relatable

I am so thankful for the honesty of the author. And find myself in so many of the similar situations. I loved the anecdotal stories, and also the truth being spoken.

GOD'S PERFECT TIMING & DIVINE ACCELERATION

I had begun my day DESIRING to be on God’s Path for me and not my own. I was seeking a Life Changing Encounter, and when I went to my daily word from the You Version Bible app, I found the RHEMA from Toni Collier. As I gleaned from the couple minutes, the mention of her being a Founder of Broken Crayons Still Color peaked my interest, and as I searched for it, I also came upon this title. immediately, I knew that it was not an impulse investment. I could NOT pull myself away too long from continuing to listen. i listened to some chapters twice and the prayers were on REPEAT! God SET ME UP to BE IN POSITION TO BE RECEPTIVE, READY, and RADICALIZED to RUN for HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, once and for all. I am NOT turning back. I, ViettaAnn, AM COMMITTED TO CHRIST despite the pain I have lived through or caused duw ro not being healed. I am CHASING AFTER my CREATOR, BIG BROTHER YESHUA HAMASHIACH and PRECIOUS GUIDE/COMFORTER the HOLY SPIRIT ("Sarayu") with ALL I HAVE because MY HEALING is IN THE MAKING💯💥💥💥💯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❣️ God has Blessed You, Toni, to be a Blessing ro so many, of whom I and my house of 4 offspring - Cristiánn Ai, Yasmín Azusa, Orlando E. Akeno, and Otoniel I. Akio - as well as ALL that I love and am called to minister to or who will minister to me. I have so much welled up inside of me. I have cried, laughed, mulled over thoughts. I look forward to reviewing my listening process this week and taking notes. Okay, for now I will shut of my faucet. I will pray for God's continued work in every facet of your life. Thank you. Merci beaucoup. Muchas gracias. Domo arigatou gozaimasu (Japanese). 🌺

What a God-Driven inspirational book!

Anyone who has gone through a divorce and trauma, I recommend 100%. I just recently got divorced from a domestic violence partner. This book helped me navigate trapped feelings: feelings of being alone, confused, and afraid. 100% recommend!
