Experience Healing and Mending with Cynthia Ruchti’s New Book and Reclaimed Treasures Giveaway

About the book:
Tattered and Mended: The Art of Healing the Wounded Soul (Abingdon, July 2015)

A crumbling statue. A torn tapestry. A discolored painting.

Artisans can reclaim exquisite beauty from the broken, frayed, and hopefully shattered---perhaps once thought beyond repair. But what about us? What of the wounds that keep us from living the life we want to live?

In Tattered and Mended, readers walk through a gallery of reclaimed and restored art as well as broken and restored lives of those who have gone before us. With a gentle touch and personable wisdom, Cynthia Ruchti shows how even the most threadbare soul can once again find healing and hope.

My Thoughts:
 
We are all tattered and torn. Since Adam and Eve sinned in the garden we've lived in a tattered and torn world, and the only one that can mend us is Jesus, Himself. 
I have a few favorite quotes from the book.
"I can't unravel. I'm hemmed in hope." "Scars can be artistic, revealing the imprint of The healer." "My scars are my story of His grace and mercy in my life." "Holy bandages presoaked in mercy."
I am not a fan of non-fiction normally. I find it boring and too close to real life. However, this book was not like that at all. Cynthia pulled me in right from the beginning using miracles that Jesus performed in the Bible to illustrate her point that He is the one that mends our tattered life giving us hope which allows us to be a story of His grace. 
This book will be a lighthouse to your tattered soul. I highly recommend it!
