Not Crushed: Songs of a Broken Heart

This collection of poetry and thought-provoking meditations is an exploration of the profound hope of salvation through Christ in the midst of immense suffering and mental health challenges. The inspiration for the book is the author's own experiences raising a child with special needs, but the principles encompass a variety of circumstances.

Joseph Hind puts aside rose-colored glasses and cliche statements to delve into the reality of pain while offering insights into its necessity and the sanctifying journey it offers. The poems and related discussions are lyrical reflections on the enduring hope found in Christ, navigating the depths of despair, and the promise of ultimate deliverance. With poignant imagery and heartfelt introspection, the reader is invited to contemplate what it means to walk by faith, finding solace and illumination in the understanding of suffering as a means of transformation, an act of obedience, and an opportunity to proclaim the glory of God.

Whether you yourself are struggling or if you are looking to understand and care for another who is, this book is for you.
