Breath in Our Lungs - Paperback

by Christine Cown (Author)

Christine's deeply personal memoir takes readers on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Born in a log cabin her father built, she has never quite felt at home in the town where she grew up or in the skin she was born into. In Breath In Our Lungs, Christine shares her struggle with purity culture, spiritual and physical abuse, and the profound loneliness she has experienced. But through it all, she finds hope and healing in unexpected places. This powerful story is for anyone who has ever felt alone in their pain, struggled with trauma, or wrestled with faith. Christine's journey is a testament to the strength found in community, the healing power of God, and the simple, yet profound act of breathing as a spiritual metaphor for connecting with the divine.

Inside, you'll find:

- A journey through heartache, trauma, and spiritual growth

- The metaphor of breath as a connection to God's Spirit, from Genesis 1

- A raw exploration of silence in the church surrounding grief, abuse, and suffering

- Encouragement for those who feel isolated in their stories, showing that healing is possible

- A message of hope through connecting to God, community, and the rhythm of breath

Christine's story is a reminder that we are never truly alone in our suffering and that healing comes one breath at a time.
