Strength for the Broken Places

by James Harnish

James A. Harnish, from the “I’m broken. So are you. We’re all broken people who live in a broken world. The critical question is, how do we find strength to put broken things back together again? This book is an invitation to touch the scars that mark the broken places in our lives, in the same way the risen Christ invited a doubting disciple to touch the nail scars in his hands. It is a challenge to explore some of the dark places in our human experience, to uncover the sinister power of sin, and to experience the way the grace of God meets us in our broken places to bring new life.”

In the interest of full disclosure, I am wildly biased in my review because I am Jim Harnish's daughter. That said, I still think this is one of his best works because it is a very real view on the many different kinds of "brokenness" we all experience. I hope it is helpful for you in wrestling with faith, loss, and personal growth.

Read book as a small group study. Chapters are themed with different types of brokeness. Very insightful observations. A few chapters did not ring true.

Definitely a book to keep on your shelf and re-read periodically :)
