We all have plenty of reasons to armor up, shut down, and numb out. But God wants more for us than just getting by.

With deep empathy drawn from her own life, Charaia Rush invites you to experience the countercultural path of staying open to the goodness of God. in Courageously Soft, she helps you to identify the root of a hardened heart, move from fearful self-preservation to the hope of being held, recognize God's presence in the midst of pain, replace denial, shutting down, and closing off with abiding trust in God's love and care If you have been feeling exhausted, bitter, or beaten down by disappointment, betrayal, or suffering, this grace-filled book will help you find your way back to a posture of love, trust, and hope.
