Trauma & God: God in the Brokenness. The Ache, the Prayer, the Answer.

Trauma & God is a confessional blend of poetry, lyrical prose, and spiritual reflection that explores what it means to find God not in perfection but in the wreckage. Written for survivors of trauma, cycles of addiction, spiritual silence, and religious guilt, this book speaks to the ache for comfort, the cost of coping, and the quiet presence of a God who doesn’t flinch at our brokenness. This is not a book of doctrine. It’s not a manual for healing. It’s a witness. From temptation and self-medication to fear, sin, confession, and grace, these pieces trace a deeply personal journey of spiritual deconstruction and restoration. Each page invites the reader into deeper honesty with themselves and with the God who meets them in the middle of their mess. There are no easy answers here. But there is presence. And maybe that’s enough. For those who’ve grown up afraid of God. For those who felt abandoned by the church. For those stuck in cycles they didn’t choose and can’t seem to break. For those longing for something real. This book is for the wounded. The addicted. The ashamed. The one who thought grace had to be earned. Here, grace is a person. And He does not walk away.
