The Art of Almost Breaking: Letters to Her Tired Soul

She didn't shatter-she wrote.

In The Art of Almost Breaking, Christine Gayle invites readers into a poetic devotional for the soul that's tired, tender, and still reaching for grace. Across 35 days, each entry begins with an original poem-raw, lyrical, and soul-baring-followed by reflections that explore identity, heartbreak, spiritual questioning, and the quiet courage of healing.

This is not a polished confessional. It's a handwritten journey through flame and faith, where sorrow is woven into scripture and longing becomes light. With imagery carved from crowns and swords, prayers and seafoam, Christine writes to the version of herself that almost gave up-and to every reader who's ever stood on that edge.

For the grieving heart, the weary spirit, and the one who still believes healing is holy-even when it's messy.

Almost breaking taught her what being whole never could.
