Is there any hope, or is he or she doomed to self-destruction? Pastors Rob Cowles and Matt Roberts say God is equal to the challenge! New beginnings are possible, no matter how broken, devastated, or crazy someone’s life may be. Yet today’s churches don’t do messy very well.

The God of New Beginnings tells these dramatic stories, offering practical wisdom for breaking through the darkness in a person’s life: Pursuing real relationships Opening up true stories Pulling together safe communities Getting honest about sin Extending God’s forgiveness and freedom Helping people reset their lives and habits Coping with ongoing complications Not giving up when setbacks occur Freely sharing the victories Keeping the faith life simple Love never fails.

Book excerpt: What do you do when you wake up and feel like you're not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart? As Ann Voskamp writes, “great grief isn't meant to fit inside your body. It's why your heart breaks.” And each of us holds enough brokenness to overflow—to be given as the greatest story of our lives. In sixty vulnerably soulful stories, The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness. Drawing from the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestseller The Broken Way and Ann's online essays, this devotional dares us to embrace brokenness as a gift that moves us to givenness as a way to draw closer to the heart of God. Christ Himself broke like bread, giving Himself to us so we might have a lifelong communion with Him. Could it be that our brokenness is also a gift to the world? This gentle but exquisitely profound book does nothing less than take you on an intimate journey of the soul. As Ann writes, "The wound in His side proves that Jesus is always on the side of the suffering, the wounded, the busted, the broken." Discover how surrendering in unexpected ways is the first step toward receiving what you long for. Discover the good news that your beauty is not in your strength but in your fragility. Discover why your healing shines radiant through your wounds—and how only in brokenness will you ever be whole—and find the way to the abundance you were meant for.
Download or read book Broken written by Willi Ray and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broken But Not in Despair was written by a woman for women to say, "Yes, I am shattered today, but I will survive tomorrow." Sometimes we as women take our failure and heartbreaks to the grave. We hide and pretend to be whole, successful, and beautiful in every area of our lives because we are taught no one wants to see beauty undone. Most women have been taught to hide their shame and smile through the pain so that others see us as strong positive role models. I was one of those women, hurting and broken into a million pieces, breaking away from tradition and shame, I decided to take the mask off and let people see my pain and share my hurts with my sisters. I was tired of crying alone behind closed doors and telling the world I am doing just fine. It was through my tears that I saw a need to share my brokenness so that others can heal. I learned that with the support of the sisterhood, I did not have to be alone or shoulder the burden of my pain in the darkness of silence. When I thought I could not walk, they carried me, when I wanted to hide away from the world, they pulled me back into the light. When I thought I had nothing left to live for, they gave me joy and helped me count my blessings. Through the support of the sisterhood, I saw brokenness as a chance to reshape my life and reinvent myself. I wrote this book to remind women that being broken can positively affect many opportunities. Broken But Not in Despair is a story about four broken women who bared their souls and shared their pain, allowing the love and nurturing support of the sisterhood to heal and mend the break. These are real women like you and me, who discovered that being broken does not mean despair. It means a new life and a new beginning.
