Healing in the Desert

Finding Your Voice on the Journey from Brokenness to Freedom

About this book

Worship artist Christine D'Clario knows firsthand what it means to break down—and how God puts us back together. She knows that many of us in faith communities struggle silently with anxiety, depression, and burnout but are hesitant to show any sign of weakness. She knows that well-meaning churches and friends often emphasize spiritual answers while leaving emotional and mental-health concerns underdeveloped or stigmatized.

In this beautifully vulnerable, ultimately hope-filled book, Christine shares her story of ongoing healing along with insightful research and biblical wisdom. Healing in the Desert frees us to:

  • Embrace the difficult seasons in our journey and learn the basis of holistic self-care rooted in faith and Scripture
  • Find companionship and understanding through another Christian's struggle with suicide, trauma, and depression
  • Pursue God with our whole heart, with an expectation to experience God's presence, not our perfection

With practical takeaways for whole-person well-being, Healing in the Desert breaks down walls of isolation to offer a compassionate path to communion with God that honors every part of how He made us.
