This is a chance to explore the meaning of Christian faith for those in and outside of churches: adults who left the church in their youth, the many religious refugees pushed out by churches, as well as those in churches looking for serious reflection. With short chapters written in conversational style, it refuses to dumb down the presentation or offer false promises. There are no tricks, no bait and switch. It simply gives an account of the good news for our time. Christian faith is risky business. It requires that we consider the way the good news is subverted by religion itself and American culture. Most important, it means examining our own resistance to the message of Jesus. In the end, it involves a willingness to participate in a future marked by the unfolding glory of God.

Words Unspoken is a story of love, heartbreak, loss, healing and becoming, carefully curated in the form of free-verse poems, quotes and short-prose; it was written to speak to our hearts, our minds and our souls about the immense capacity humans have for resilience and survival, for becoming and flourishing after having been broken to pieces. The book is aimed at empowering you to claim your voice back after feeling shattered; it is about claiming your power back and starting to believe in yourself again; it is about changing the narrative of your life and who you see yourself as capable of becoming.

In life every person experiences many different trials, feelings, accomplishments and failures but how each person deals with and learns from those things are unique. Poetry is a way of expression that can often help with understanding. Many times people feel they are alone in the things happening to them or around them or that the things they have done have gone unnoticed. In this book the author reveals many things from her life growing up in hopes that it will reach someone and give them strength to take on the things that come there way, an understanding to the chaos, to inform them that their choices matter and are always noticed, but most importantly to allow her readers to know that they are never alone.
