Synopsis

Who are we . . . really? As depression, addiction, and suicide become more commonplace in today’s culture, it seems we have lost sight of who we actually are. Like a whale on a beach, too many of us are finding ourselves breathing shallow, feeling stranded, and alone.The truth is we can cut free from the things that hold us back if we can catch a clear vision of the true character of God. And, like a mighty redwood tree, we can choose to live healthy lives filled with purpose, rising confidently above the chaos.As we choose to align our hearts and minds with the truth, we will discover that maybe God isn’t exactly who we thought He was -- maybe life with Him is a whole lot bigger and more exciting than we ever imagined.Redwoods and Whales will give you the tools you need to help push aside the things that entangle, and grab hold of the life you were born to live.

Goodreads review by Leah

First off let's talk about the simple beauty that is this cover. It is just stunning. This was such a raw and powerful book. I felt like I could understand the WHYS behind it because I have felt them myself. I also felt that even though there was a heavy focus on God, swap that with spirituality, or......more
