Strongest in the Broken Places: A Story of Spiritual Recovery
WHERE ARE YOU BROKEN?
Is it in your • anger • guilt • insecurity • workaholism?
Sometimes our broken places are the result of a dysfunctional family life. That was Dan Harrison's experience. Although he was raised in a Christian home, Dan's family was dysfunctional in many respects, failing to provide the nurture and security that children need to grow into healthy adults. His dysfunctional family background left him with deep scars of insecurity, anger and weakness.
But Dan now believes he is strongest in his broken places. Amazingly, God took those areas of greatest weakness and used them to advance his kingdom. And what Dan has learned in his story of spiritual recovery can be your story too. He shows us how God can bring us from
• anger to forgiveness
• guilt to acceptance
• insecurity to affirmation
• workaholism to balance
Strongest in the Broken Places isn't a story of defeat and despair, but a story of healing. There is hope for broken people. That's the message of the Good News.
Dan Harrison is director of missions for Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship. Previously he served with Wycliffe Bible Translators. He and his wife, Shelby, are the parents of five children.
