Processing the Mess: Where Healing Leads
Not yet published
Expected 1 Jul 26If The Mess of Me was about waking up, this book is about what comes next.
Healing isn’t a moment. It’s a walk. A work.
And you can’t do it alone.
In this powerful continuation of his story, Joseph Atinsky shares what happened after the breakthrough—how he and Wendy learned to walk out healing in real life, in real time, and in the messy, beautiful context of community.
Through recovery and mentorship, Joe learns what it means to be fathered, to submit as a son, and to fight for his family’s future—breaking generational patterns that had plagued his bloodline for over a century. Together, he and Wendy endure seasons of pain, waiting, and rebuilding—choosing unity when everything tries to pull them apart.
Along the way, they discover that healing doesn’t just restore what was lost. It fills you to overflowing—so you can pour into others what was once poured into you.
This is more than a memoir.
It’s a guide for anyone who’s ever asked:
What now? How do I keep going when healing feels slow and messy? And how do I find people to walk it with me?
If you’ve been awakened to your need for healing, but you’re still learning to walk it out, this story is for you.
