Pale Bloom

When shame says you're too much--or not enough--grace still makes a way. In these brief lyrical chapters Attila Takacs walks through trauma faith and the slow unlearning of harsh religion offering a gentler way with God. Drawing on Scripture (NRSV) and trauma-wise pastoral practice Pale Bloom is a companion for survivors and those who love them: calm honest and safe. Readers will find language for what hurts prayers that do not rush us and simple practices--breath blessing attention--that help us live again. This is not a fix-it manual but a quiet guide toward tenderness dignity and the sacredness of being human.
