For someone is who not very self-aware (oh, yeah, I guess I might have had this pain for about three weeks, Doc), this book helps me know and empathize in a better way. I handle stressors well. I don't overanalyze. I forget wrongs done to me. I suffer fools plenty long. But...there are grievous counter-balances such as...I don't like chocolate very much and I'm a pathetic sinner.
I'm not oblivious though. I grieve with those who grieve and want to do that better. I want to process and feel life more deeply and richly.
This book is a thoughtful treatise for those suffering a wide array of sins, weights, and burdens. I strongly commend it to those who are in pain, or anxious, or longing for healing, grieving for loss, or feel like ex-pats in this far country.
The audio is excellently done (by the author).

Writing
This is just beautifully done. I loved the style of addressing each chapter to a different category of sufferer and writing the chapters in the form of letters. They are very personal and intimate and give you both a glimpse of the author and a reflection of yourself. I could find pieces of myself in each letter and I think the author did a great job of shining a light in dark places that Christian authors may avoid at times.
Entertainment Value
Again, I just adored this book. My go to is to read a chapter of whatever Christian non-fiction I'm reading at the time each night, but I couldn't limit myself on this one to just one chapter. I had to keep going. I'm glad I had it on my Kindle and was able to highlight relevant portions because this is a book that begs for annotations. I plan to get a print copy to reread and annotate further.
Overall
It's Christian non-fiction, which will limit the interest range for some, but for those who read the genre this one is a must-add to your TBR.

Man, this book came at just the right time. I had the privilege of hearing the author speak at a conference and then immediately purchased the book after the session. I have had a long stretch of weary months and have wanted to barricade myself indoors and brood; but Rebecca reminds us that an isolated body of water grows stagnant. We need each other and more importantly, we need to be reminded of the hope that only Christ can offer to us and our broken world.

She gets a lot of things that resonate with me. She just uses a lot of words to share it, which isn't so much my style, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Loved her putting in words for me the use of #blessed. While I know I'm extraordinarily blessed in innumerable small ways, celebrating these "little blessings when another friend sits in a hospital room" or being on the other end of that is sometimes very challenging. Her letters to where people are in different places is a good approach to those various challenges in our faith walk. "So when feelings of fear, anxiety, or restlessness do hit, it's important to see them for what they are. They aren't indications that God has abandoned us... They are emotions to address. That's all." And to remember, "The King has been chasing me, comforting me, urging me onward all my life." Sometimes easy to forget at my age when things haven't gone like you thought they would. Courage, dear hearts!

A refreshing and rejuvenating perspective for me during a difficult season.

I know a lot of people liked this book. I read it because I like the Rabbit Room's work, and it was highly praised by many people whose work I admire. But, I'm sorry to say that I was severely disappointed. I gave it a fighting chance, trying to like it for the cover's sake (It is beautiful), but I couldn't get past Letter 5 and had to skim the rest.
From the very beginning Reynolds says that "Lewis, Chesterton, and Tolkien must have prayed for their readers" because she prayed for her readers when she wrote her book (pg. 12). This is a bold claim, to bold in my opinion, to seem to know what those men did while they wrote, and also to elevate her own writing to their level.
Secondly, the majority of her chapters seem to be given to complaining about how unfair the world is. Only to finally get to the point in the last few paragraphs, which was, in a nutshell, "tell God how you're feeling."
I know Reynolds is offering encouragement to suffering people. Who of us doesn't suffer? But, honestly, instead of reading this book, go read Psalm 13 (or any other psalm):
"How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O LORD my God;
alight up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the LORD,
because he has dealt bountifully with me."
Because that sums up the message of Reynolds' book better.

This book! I’m not sure what exactly I was expecting, but I was definitely not expecting to be so utterly gutted even as my weary soul has been stilled. Rebecca Reynolds wastes not a word in her poignant prose which is packed tight with profound beauty and transcendent truths. These nine letters offer a breath of fresh air to the rejected, the disillusioned, the long-suffering, the skeptical, the fearful, the homesick and more. Far from being either sentimental or preachy this book is truly a gift to a weary world, and I cannot possibly recommend it enough. I am planning to read it again starting tomorrow!

I am deeply touched by this book. Rebecca Reynolds identifies the aches of this world by painting beautiful images of loss, heartaches, and brokenness using her own experiences along with those of the world around her. Every letter seeks to encourage the reader with words from our Good Shepherd. If you are dissatisfied with the world, fear not! God is making all things new! We are not home, but the Lord is with us always and prepares a place for us. I recommend this book to all who are weary, whether you know it or not. (P.S. This book also fulfilled all my C.S. Lewis expectations and confirmed it’s time for me to return to Narnia).

I don't normally read these kinds of books. And it is a rare thing for me to finish any book within two days. But this one captured me. Rebecca's Reynolds writing was exquisite and fine, telling stories with mastery and attention to detail that reminded of me of Marilynne Robinson or my visits to Wendell Berry's Port William, all the while whispering reminders of how God is as close as our own breath even when we feel his silence.

This is maybe not quite 5 stars? I'm bad at ratings. I didn't LoVe this book. It didn't capture my soul and take me on a journey the same way other books have (Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl, Look and Live, etc), but I did want to read it again as soon as I finished it.
It's strange to say, but I feel like it would have reached me better if my soul were in a darker place than it is right now. If I were more soul-weary than I am, here in my newlywed chapter of life, it might have felt more like balm on chapped lips. But as I am where I am, I felt it was a good place to read with a little more discernment than weary souls tend to have.
There is a lot of really wonderful gold in this book. There are also things I don't agree with. There were pieces I questioned the relevancy of, and parts that didn't make perfect sense to me. But the beautiful things definitely outweighed the uncertain ones. She writes as a broken human without all the answers, but points to the King. She writes with a longing that rings true to the life I see all around us.
I would gladly hand this book to soul-weary friend. And that's the kind of book I wanted it to be.

Oh my goodness, this was so good, people! I have so many paragraphs highlighted, sentences that kept making me pause and reread them at least three more times. There is such depth and honesty here. The truth in these pages will hit your heart and remind it to hope again, even midst darkness. "But even in the dark, I can wait for the voice of Christ saying, “Step here. Step here.” I can know that his leading will come because this is the time that has been given to me. He has already provided strong memories to undergird me. He has provided open skies and deep forests full of running water. He has provided good, long paths to walk, lungs to take in morning air, blood that grows delightfully warm with exertion. I have been given bread, and water, and sleep. I have been given honest friends to remind me of truth I forget."

I first read Rebecca Reynolds’s work in a post published by the Rabbit Room. I was in a season of heavy discouragement and disillusionment, and she was voicing things I had barely been able to begin expressing in my own heart. Suddenly, I wasn’t alone.
In language heartfelt, poetic, and rich with imagery, Reynolds speaks needed truth in these “letters to a weary world.” She points us back to the truths that don’t change and the one who can handle the weight of our honest wrestling. Letter 3 (to the long-suffering) and letter 7 (to the disillusioned) are, to me, worth the price of the book.
Maybe I overstate my case, and maybe the appeal of this book is more narrow than I think. Even so, for a few of us, it’s a book we’ve needed for these times we’re in.

This book provides encouragement while avoiding sentimentality - a rare feat indeed. I expect to revisit it many times over the years.

The retelling in this book of the story of Leah will stick with me forever.

A book for our times...one of the best books I’ve read this year. Recommended for anyone suffering, seeking, or just wanting to live better in a world that is not our home.

4.5 stars! Liked this book a whole lot!! Good section divisions. Will say that this book is not one to read when you are pumped up… but— if you feel low and have a heart in need of encouragement, it will lift your spirits. Good truths. Makes me want to reread Narnia. Between 4 and 5 because sometimes there was a lots of anecdotes going on at the same time making it tougher to follow, but still would recommend to a friend!!

She writes from pain she has experienced, she shares her own personal struggles, doubts, and skepticism, and points to the One who has it all in control and that we can trust, our Lord! So if you are a person who is going through a hard-time, feel rejected, weary, or just feel a bit lost in this world that sometimes just seems hard to be in at times and you are wondering where is God, then pick up this book Courage, Dear Heart ~ Letters To A Weary World, and read it! She reminds us to take our doubts, weaknesses, and sorrow straight to our Maker and let him be the Father he is. She sprinkles in quotes and shares from some well known favorite writers like C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Tolkien, and a few others. Along with lots of Scripture references within her book as she shares her stories of suffering and fear. She writes: "So courage, dear heart. I know you are tired. I know the darkness is thick and the way is longer and harder than you ever expected it to be. But God sees you, He hurts with you, and He welcomes your honesty. Even to the ends of the earth, He will lead you on." In this book, she reminded me that God uses all the good and bad ~ Sometimes the growth that we need the most can't be accomplished in dignity, safety, or privacy.... As you walk through this valley of the shadow of death, the Lord is with you. You were saved, and you are still being saved. Even this end of your world will be used by the Father who loves you. You don't have to be God's little hero; in fact, it's okay if you collapse on your knees before the Almighty and say, "If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness." Fo here in this holy place where you are most weak, you are most strong." Her example that life can be like learning to ride a bike, "God supported me some, let me fall some, helped me get back up. He went through that process with me in real time so that I would learn to ride faster and stronger in freedom." Words and stories like this comfort me, give me peace in my limited understanding, that no matter what God is good, He is there, and is in control, He has a plan and a purpose for it all. This book reminded me of where courage comes from, not from me, but from my Lord ~ Jesus, who died to save me.

What a strong and beautiful, lovingly written book addressed as letters to a weary world—a weary me—a weary you. I highly recommend it to you.
I needed these letters “written imaginatively and with compassion” (as multiple reviewers have said).
Courage, Dear Heart: letters to a weary world — it was the title that drew me to read it. I’ve savored it slowly delighting in rich literary references drawn from the author's own deep reading well. The titles of each letter-chapter, so alluring—Reynolds is a gifted word smith, writing engagingly—imaginatively. She used metaphors that occasionally took my breath away; at times I would sit and let them steep, slowly infusing my own imagination, mind, and heart.
She reminded me to live the kingdom of God in the love of Jesus who ushered it into our weary world — our brother, priest, and friend who laid down his life for us, so that we might live, truly live.
Reynolds reminded me that the kingdom of God is within me through Christ Jesus—present here and now. I can live in it and live here in this weary world too.
Much needed reminders—I have been in a long weary season—I have renewed hope. My foggy lenses have been cleaned, my imagination rekindled.
Thank you, Rebecca Reynolds. Keep writing.

More than twice while reading this book I felt the hairs go up on my arms. Really beautiful writing and raw emotion anchored in truth. I feel less alone after reading it. What a hope we have. What a fight we live.
Admire her honest battle with cynicism and doubt. Love the literary Lewis connections.
P. 104 The answer to fear is found in a person.
P. 151 ... God understands the bodily and emotional needs of the weary.
P. 187 Just as a newborn baby cries out for milk he has never tasted, the human soul arrives on this planet needing to be known intimately—needing to belong somewhere permanent, beautiful, safe, and personal.
P. 188 Lewis was a rationalist, a materialist, a hardened atheist when he ran into beauty more powerful than all his resistance. He finally had to admit that he was hungry with a hunger that would not leave him alone—thanks be to God.
P. 192 It is the inherent work of darkness to hover over order and say, “Let there be chaos.”

Powerful. Vulnerable. Authentic. This book stirred my very being with solid scripture filled reminders of how present Our Great God is in every aspect of our brokenness. Her imagery brought breathe back into my heart and soul. Self care for the weary, restless,lonely reader is delivered in her stories of finding God in all these unseen hurts and His character and presence bringing in fresh air in the struggle to breathe in those undone areas of life. I read it in 3 sittings. Aching for the time to get back to it.
August 23, 2018
This is a heart wrenching and beautiful book. I resonated with so much of it. It was so deeply honest and vulnerable that you can’t help but be honest with yourself and your own feelings as you read it. I already can think of a few people that I want to purchase a copy for. Even though I just finished it, I’m ready to open it back up and re-read it.
September 16, 2019
Loved this from the 1st chapter & the following ones did not disappoint. Such good, gospel encouragement for struggling with & dealing with the hard things of life in this broken world. She finds the rays of hope without glossing over how terrible, bad & rough our experiences are.

Encouraging words. Lovely writing. You can dip into these letters again and again. For me, only one thing was missing to bring it to 5 stars: a bit more Bible.

“
5++++ stars!
Beautifully written, honest, complex, encouraging and thoughtful. Rebecca K Reynolds grapples with hard questions and is vulnerable and open about her struggles. She reminds us that it’s ok to cry out to the Lord honestly and that we can trust Him even when we can’t make sense of of our circumstances. I can not recommend this book enough!
“If you are wary of giving your whole heart away to Him, dig around in His story, and get to know this person who lived as a broken man among broken men. Read about the night He stood alone in the dark after all his friends ran away, and read about the day he stood in front of a hateful crowd, “ Give us Barabbas”. See how He grieved, and was lonely, and got tired sometimes.”
“So on those nights when you kneel in the silent dark to pray, wishing for the weight of a friend’s arm about your shoulders, you have a Savior who understands what it’s like to be without human companionship.”
“So Jesus knows what it means to feel alone. It’s shocking that a God would experience this for us; but he loved us enough to take on the troubles of our world.”
“Jesus, on the other hand, seems to want us to carry the ring to Mordor against all odds of our own flesh and nature, and you can’t take a journey like that without losing all delusions of your own grandeur. While walking through the world, you’re going to find your ugliest weaknesses. You’re going to realize that your flesh is sometimes greedy, sometimes false, sometimes dishonest, and often weary. But in the limits of our ability, by our weaknesses and our failures, we learn to cry out to God in a whole different way. We learn to lean into an identity that is bigger than our own limitations.”

This book made me cry. I thought I was dealing with something pretty well - like I was treading the waters of this difficult experience and I was keeping my head up and all was well. But then, I started reading Reynold's letters and I found tears in my eyes. And it was like I sunk beneath the waves.
I don't think that's a bad thing (it's an uncomfortable and tiring thing, but not a bad one). Reynolds leads us through the pain of life in a way that is truthful enough to be difficult. And, also, truthful enough to be comforting. Genuine hope offered after an honest appraisal of the hurt.
As a fellow English teacher, I delighted in Reynold's use of literary analysis to help illustrate her ideas. Her theology is rooted in Biblical authority and her writing in detailed imagery. I recommend this to anyone in need of God's loving response to days (weeks, months, years...) that ache.
