Beyond Broken
John Andrews
Like an uninvited houseguest, or even worse a midnight burglar, brokenness can bash its way into our lives. Unannounced. Unwelcome. Unexpected. In Beyond Broken, John Andrews takes us on a profound journey where we can discover a new wholeness from our brokenness and find power, even in the pain of our lives.” – Helen Roberts, Author of Be Victorious and Be Fruitful, from the foreword. Brokenness is a reality that every follower of Jesus experiences at some point on their journey, and it is in those moments of trial, pain, fear or failure that we look to the Lord for rescue and deliverance. We’re grateful for the times He saves us from the valley, but what of the moments when we experience His salvation by walking with Him through the valley? This book doesn’t ignore the reality of brokenness. Rather, it embraces it, while making a journey of faith to help us find power in the pain. So often we cry out to God to “deliver us from evil” because our natural human instinct longs to find the exit. But as numerous heroes of the faith will testify, walking through the valley is sometimes the only way out of it.
