In her early twenties, and newly diagnosed with depression, Heidi believes she is permanently damaged. When her boyfriend’s headache turns out to be a cancerous brain tumor, she sets her brokenness aside to become his caregiver.
Depression returns just a few years later, as she mourns the loss of her husband and attempts to raise two young boys on her own. Anxious and overwhelmed, she repeatedly cries out in prayer for guidance, and deliverance from her suffering. When a Bible study challenges her mindset, a new path forward emerges.
Encouraging and tender, Looking Back and Running Forward is a reminder that even though we are all broken and face difficulties, we can still choose to experience joy.
Heidi Kinney, a former mathematics teacher and editor, writes books, blog articles, and poems to inspire others to live happier and healthier lives. When she's not writing, she spends her time homeschooling, running, participating in Bible studies, and daydreaming about travel.
