BREAKING FOR RAINBOWS

About This Book

Hope is not the absence of night. It is learning to walk until morning.

Some nights refuse to end. Not the kind you sleep through — the kind that is still there at breakfast, that rides in the passenger seat on the way to work. If you are in one of those nights, or you love someone who is, this book was written for you. And it will not pretend yours is shorter than it is.

Breaking for Rainbows is not a formula. No seven steps, no promise that tomorrow will be easy. It offers something rarer: honest company for the long night. Written from inside the dark rather than from a mountaintop, these short, unhurried reflections walk through five movements — naming the weight, moving forward before the path is visible, chasing beauty when your legs are tired, stopping for a grace that arrives unearned, and finally becoming light for someone else.

There is no deadline for the dark. These hours will pass. They always do. The dawn does not forget to come.

Inside You’ll Find

• Sixty-two brief reflections you can read in any order, on any kind of night
• Gentle questions for the honest after each chapter
• A complete reader’s guide for book clubs and small groups

For the grieving, the exhausted, and the ones quietly holding it all together. And for anyone shopping for a friend walking through something hard — the friend after the funeral, or the one who has stopped answering texts.

For readers of The Comfort Book, Everything Happens for a Reason, and It’s OK That You’re Not OK.

Five Movements

1. The Long Night — 12 reflections. The weight of midnight, questions without answers, and the hours before dawn.
2. Walking Blind — 12 reflections. Faith practiced without sight: trusting anyway, releasing the map, moving forward in the dark.
3. Chasing Sunsets — 13 reflections. Making room for beauty and choosing to move toward it while still tired.
4. Breaking for Rainbows — 13 reflections. Learning to notice unexpected color, and receiving what you did not earn.
5. Becoming Dawn — 12 reflections. What suffering taught, and going back for others.

Who This Book Is For

• Anyone who has been through a storm and is looking for meaning in it
• Believers who need permission to grieve before they praise
• Those who know the rainbow is real but need help getting through the rain first

There is no easy sunrise here. Only the quiet insistence that morning always comes — until you can chase the sunset again, break for the rainbow you weren’t looking for, and, in time, go and be dawn.

Breaking for Rainbows is a standalone devotional, available in hardcover, paperback and eBook.
