Many books speak on Christian marriage, courtship and dating principles, and on the beauty that awaits us when those seasons work out well. Few, however, offer a tried and-tested roadmap for what to do when a Christian courtship ends. Award-winning poet and author of self-care collection Heart Shards and Lip Balm, Imani Shola, does just that in Messy Loving. Written as she emerged from her own healing process following a long-term relationship, Messy Loving provides practical tips, healing scriptures, and even personal journal entries - tangible tools to offer tangible hope to Christian women navigating an often painful post-break-up season. Messy is a companion for your entire journey, from messy start to glorious finish; from grief in this season to gratitude for this season; from mess to restoration - and to the brighter, better new beginnings that await you. Let's take it one day at a time.
