The Mended Heart

A Poet's Journey through Love, Suffering, and Hope

Rhonda Milner

In The Mended Heart, author and poet Rhonda Milner brings readers an inspirational book of her poetry, prose, and photography, offering them comfort and hope when they are going through difficult times. Drawing from her own experiences of joy and happiness, pain and sorrow, she shares words that encourage and lift the spirits of those who need to be reminded they are not alone. The poetry and writings have been compiled over the past 3 years from her Healing Presence Ministry blog where she has gained a worldwide following of over 2.6 million fans on Facebook, along with Instagram.

This book is a journey to hope, allowing readers from all walks of life, cultures, and faiths to connect with the thoughts and wisdom of the author as she leads them through the human and universal experiences of love (both love experienced as people and love as shown by God), the pain and yet gentle and inherent beauty of suffering, and the promise of hope.

The heart is never the same after it’s been broken. But it can be healed. Ultimately, The Mended Heart brings readers to a place where they can recognize and experience God’s love, receiving help and blessing through the writings and honest reflections of someone who’s been down the road of both heartache and healing. This beautiful coffee-table gift book pairs the author’s writings with her original photography, speaking powerfully, gently, and honestly to the soul.
