Liturgical and practical resources from Iona Community members, friends and others designed to create more awareness and understanding about mental health.

‘I have never known anyone who hasn’t experienced a mental health problem at one time or another. So to me this book is simply about being human. There are worship resources for services on mental health here, but I think a lot of the resources could, should be used in any worship service. And I hope some of it – the beautiful gutsy poems and powerful reflections – is used well beyond church. Much of it comes from the edge anyway …’

From the Introduction

Redeeming Our Cracks is a book about seeing beauty in brokenness and strength in vulnerability.

You come,

walking among

the brittle fragments

of our broken lives,

gathering up every sharp shard,

to fashion

a new and beautiful

mosaic.

Sandra Sears, from Redeeming Our Cracks
