| Summary |
Ann Voskamp sits at the edge of her life and all of her own unspoken brokenness and asks: What if you really want to live abundantly before it's too late? What do you do if you really want to know abundant wholeness? This is the one begging question that's behind every single aspect of our lives -- and one that The Broken Way rises up to explore in the most unexpected ways. This one is for the lovers and the sufferers. For those whose hopes and dreams and love grew so large it broke their willing hearts. This one's for the busted ones who are ready to bust free, the ones ready to break molds, break chains, break measuring sticks, and break all this bad brokenness with an unlikely good brokenness. You could be one of the Beloved who is broken --- and still lets yourself be loved. |

Voskamp shows us ways to slow down, stop time, and allow gritty faith to penetrate, expose, and bring the hint of healing to the mess of daily life. For all imperfect people-- in other words, for all of us-- she leads us on a journey toward embracing and celebrating the brokenness in each of us, sharing the incredible grace of Jesus with those who are broken-- but still want to be loved. |
