Made Well

"Healing is a long, hard road. I am grateful for Jenny's writing that acknowledges this truth while also being steeped in the nearness of Jesus. Life-giving hope whispers from these pages."

from the foreword by Margaret Feinberg, author of Fight Back with Joy

"Jenny Simmons's Made Well simply gushes grace. Alternately heartbreaking, funny, raw--but most of all unbearably human. I can't recall reading a more authentic book on spirituality. Simmons's ease in her own skin and command of her craft combine to make a book that is as substantive as it is tender. Real-life, hard-edged truth crackles on every page. Made Well is a work of tremendous soul, a book that, like its author, sings. I can't recommend it highly enough."

Jonathan Martin, author of How to Survive a Shipwreck and Prototype

"Carrying her words as only a poet would, Jenny Simmons stands at the mic in her emotional skivvies and sings the miracle of belief, where if we dare to wake up, we'll see God's love and power have never been clearer. Made Well offers the courage to lean into the ordinary--friendship, therapy, laundry, tacos--and see it as wholly belonging to our Father. Often the sea is parted through the daily crumbs of a life spent longing. Emmanuel finds us here, in yesterday's yoga pants with pancake batter in our hair, and, as Jenny says, 'transforms the holes.' This book is a necessary reminder that there is no such thing as ordinary healing."
