Learning to Be

Finding Your Center After the Bottom Falls Out

About this book

Juanita called it "The Crash."

Her counselor labeled it "a major depressive episode." Others called it a nervous breakdown. On the spiritual front, it was a dark night of the soul.

This experience landed Juanita, a busy pastor, mother, and community leader, in bed. When everything in her life finally came to a stop, she found that she had to learn to be—with herself and with God—all over again.

If you are longing for a trustworthy companion through your darkdays, this book is here for you. Each chapter includes life-giving spiritual practices to help you discover your own new ways of being.
