Grace for amateurs
Book Description
When depression and anxiety left Lily Burana searching for answers, she turned to the one place she never expected to find them: faith. Having drifted away from Christianity during her younger years, Burana had long dismissed the church as irrelevant to her life on society's edges. Yet facing her darkest moments, she discovered that faith might be her final lifeline.
In this deeply personal collection of interconnected essays, Burana chronicles her unconventional journey back to spiritual connection. She tackles the complexities of modern faith with refreshing honesty, exploring everything from the awkwardness of revealing newfound Christian beliefs to secular friends to navigating the intersection of spirituality and parenting. Her writing addresses the challenging terrain where mental health struggles meet religious healing, examining how past trauma and ongoing depression can coexist with spiritual growth.
What emerges is a candid portrait of imperfect faith in action. Burana demonstrates that spiritual recovery doesn't require pristine belief or flawless devotion. Instead, she reveals how grace operates even within doubt, struggle, and uncertainty. Her story offers hope to anyone who feels too broken, too complicated, or too far removed from traditional religious communities to experience divine love.
This honest exploration speaks to seekers who crave authentic spirituality over polished testimonies, showing that God's grace extends especially to those who consider themselves spiritual amateurs.
