I have a hard time writing reviews for these type of pseudo-autobiographical books. On the one hand, I want to be objective about the content, grammar, flow, etc. on the other hand, I hate feeling like I’m in some way rating their life’s story. I debated between 2-3 stars and went with 3 because I put myself in the author’s shoes. This was NOT an easy book for her to write, of that I’m sure. And she’s at times brutally honest about her battles with faith in times of trial. There were just some things I did not agree with in the application portions, especially concerning interpretation and teaching of scripture. It was occasionally difficult to follow her train of thought, but the grammar and writing are mostly solid. It’s not a bad book, but I can’t say it’s one I’ll come back to either.

HTML: Find beauty and hope by facing and dealing with the messiness of family life. The family is an imperfect institution. Broken people become broken parents who make broken families. But actually, broken is normal and exactly where God wants us. In The Beauty of Broken, Elisa Morgan, one of today's most respected female Christian leaders, for the first time shares her very personal story of brokennessâ??from her first family of origin to the second, represented by her husband and two grown children. Over the years, Elisa's family struggled privately with issues many parents must face, including: alcoholism and drug addiction infertility and adoption teen pregnancy and abortion divorce, homosexuality, and deathEach story layers onto the next to reveal the brokenness that comes into our lives without invitation. "We've bought into the myth of the perfect family," says Elisa. "Formulaic promises about the family may have originated in well-meaning intentions, but such thinking isn't realistic. It's not helpful. It's not even kind." Instead she offers hope in the form of "broken family values" that allow parents to grow and thrive with God. Values such as commitment, humility, relinquishment, and respect carry us to new places of understanding. Owning our brokenness shapes us into God's best idea for us and enables us to discover the beauty in ourselves and each member of our family. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
