In The Wilderness: Saved & Suicidal, Tari authentically displays her battle with mental illness in adulthood. She captures the painful healing process from wounds of her childhood and a relationship that broke her to build her, all of which lead her to multiple suicide attempts. In her journey, she discusses the revelation that her experiences parallel when Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness three times. Through finding comfort in God’s promises and salvation in Christ, Tari uses her rawest moments with Him to show the honest, recovery process of discovering and plucking underlying roots that contributed to her cycle of emotional pain. While shining light on biblical truth and acknowledging stumbles in her healing journey, Tari provides wisdom, prayers, and insight for many to relate. The Wilderness: Saved & Suicidal, seeks to reveal the supernatural works of God, severe chains of shame and guilt, and to remind us that there is no testimony too big, too small, or too familiar that isn’t worth sharing for the glory of Jesus Christ.
