Advance Praise
"If you harbor any doubts that God is present in the broken places, let this prayerful chorus of voices dispel them. Soul Bare is a psalm to what is hard and holy, a glorious song of praise to a God who reaches into darkness and blesses even our deepest wounds."
—Esther Emery, writer
"What does it mean to be 'authentic'? We give the word a lot of reverence, but actually stepping out in authenticity remains a frightening prospect for many of us. There are those parts of our lives that we would rather not acknowledge, that we would rather forget, that we assume would isolate us if they were found out. Soul Bare is proof that authenticity never isolates, but always invites new growth and community. Any reader is bound to find him or herself in these pages somewhere."
—Matt Appling, author of Life After Art and Plus or Minus
"I held my breath, I cried, I shuddered, I whispered prayers, I ached. Most of all, I fell more deeply in love with Jesus through these words and stories. I can't help but think how wide and deep and long this love is that finds us all so broken and yet so beautiful."

Raw and real, these are not the stories we might expect. Honesty heals and truth transforms in the secure embrace of community.
Traci R, Reviewer
I heard about this book from many of my online blogging friends, because they have pieces in this collection. These writers are honest with their audiences on a regular basis online and through books. We trust them. So, when you can get your hands on a book like this where they tell the deepest and darkest truths they've worked out in their own lives, you treasure it.
