Break Right: Finding Wholeness in Heartbreak, and a Good God in a Bad Breakup

by Erica D. Hearns

“Less exclaiming “woe is me!” and more proclaiming “greater is He…” “What would happen if I ran to the Lord with my heartbreak instead of friends, family, or another relationship? What would happen if I sought to show God’s goodness in this bad situation?” After ending a long dating relationship, author Erica D. Hearns found herself asking these and other compelling questions. In Break Finding Wholeness in Heartbreak, and a Good God in a Bad Breakup, she shares the surprising results of drawing near to God and following His lead in this “breaking season.” Weaving Erica’s personal breakup experiences and those of other women with biblical truth and practical application, Break Right is an invitation to discard the world’s perception and prescription for a breakup and embrace what God wants women to wholeness. By turns compassionate and convicting, this raw, real, and relatable revising of the traditional breakup rhetoric will inspire you to do more than cry into a pint of ice cream blasting breakup songs. Don’t just breakup; break right.

About the author

Erica Denise Hearns first began writing at the age of five with a story about a princess named Jasmine (which she insists was NOT based on the Disney fairytale). She was first published at the age of eight and has won numerous creative writing and oratory awards. She has published several poems and essays and even authored an advice column for the newsletter for the Horizons-Upward Bound program. She graduated with a B.A. in English from the University of Central Florida in 2008.

Erica was inspired to write Altered before the Altar when she realized that the teenage and young adult women she taught needed some help putting dating, love and relationships into the proper perspective—and so did she. Altered before the Altar is Erica’s first published book.
