From the Back Cover
"I finished the last page of Breathing Freely . . . [and] felt inspired to wrap my arms around the entirety of my own life--the people and the places that I cherish, the bridges that I've burned, the faces that I miss, and the feelings of loss that leave me quiet and still. I breathed deeply, closed my eyes, and thanked God for the richness of it all." Amy Grant, singer/songwriter "Ruth McGinnis invites each of us into the redemptive story of grace, a larger narrative of restorative love. Ruth writes as she lives and performs, with healing sensitivity and the rhythms of eternity." Scotty Smith, pastor, author of Objects of His Affection, coauthor of Speechless and Unveiled Hope. In her thirties, Ruth McGinnis began a journey back through time and geography to reconnect with the girl she once was -- a girl who knew what it was to breathe freely, to feel comfortable in her own skin, to bound into a day with curiosity, and to greet each new experience as an adventure. By looking beyond outer circumstances to the landscape inside, she learned life, with all its flaws and imperfection, can be fragrant, delicious, and more sure. McGinnis will take you to this place, a hallowed ground of wonder, seeped in gratitude, love, and grace. Travel alongside her through the imprint and legacies of family, the consequences of choice, and the marks of experience. You too can discover that there is a way to love more generously, there are bigger dreams to dream, and there is a hope that's everlasting. Julliard violinist Ruth McGinnis has performed with Amy Grant, Vince Gill, the late Chet Atkins, and as part of the legendary John Hartford's string band. She is the author of Living the Good Life and speaks to women's groups on wellness and health. She and her husband live in Nashville, Tennessee.
