<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An honest conversation that helps women transform their feelings of failure and shame into a grace-filled life of self-care and self-compassion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Leeana Tankersley, like so many of us, began to feel overwhelmed by life. And like so many of us, she assumed she was struggling not because life is inherently difficult but because she was personally failing in some way. She knows firsthand what it is to bully yourself, to put yourself down for not being able to keep it all together, to compare yourself to others and find yourself lacking. But she's also discovered that all of the hurt and hostility and pain only add up to a life of holding your breath. What if we could exhale and let go?<br/><i><br/>Breathing Room </i>is her beautiful release of self-condemnation, her discovery of the rest that comes when we give ourselves some space to breathe. She draws readers in through shared experiences of perfectionism, jealousy, and striving and shows them how to let go, how to be radically on their own team, and how to experience the broad grace that Christ has offered all of us.<br/><br/>Anyone who has been trying to do it all, who has been putting on a strong front and yet secretly struggling, will find in <i>Breathing Room</i> both a trusted friend and a generous Savior.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>AN INVITATION TO BREATHE<br/></b><br/><i>Catastrophe or no catastrophe, if you are unhinged, disoriented, suffocating, or otherwise generally dragging, I'm inviting you to pull up a chair at this table . . .<br/></i><br/><br/><i>Breathing Room</i> is a beautiful release of self-condemnation, a discovery of the rest that comes when we offer ourselves some space to breathe. Vulnerable and winsome, Leeana Tankersley shows you how to stop beating yourself up, how to be radically on your own team, and how to truly experience grace. If you've been putting on a strong front and yet are secretly coming apart, you'll find in these pages a trusted friend.<br/><br/><br/>"Leeana says out loud the things we all feel, and she says it with grace and eloquence. Reading these pages is like sitting with a friend."--<b>Shauna Niequist</b>, author of <i>Bread & Wine</i><br/><br/>"Leeana refuses to reach for easy answers, instead leading the reader on a journey of accepting our own humanity. Quite simply, this is one of the most thoughtful books I've read all year."--<b>Emily P. Freeman</b>, author of <i>A Million Little Ways<br/></i><br/><b>Leeana Tankersley</b> is the author of six books, including <i>Breathing Room</i>, <i>Brazen</i>, <i>Begin Again</i>, and <i>Always We Begin Again</i>, <i> </i>and holds English degrees from Liberty University and West Virginia University.
