We all feel the crash and burn of this broken world at some point in our lives, whether from situations out of our control, from paths that we've chosen, or even as a result of our obedience to God. Ryan Dobson and Toben Heim have been there—they know what it is to be wrecked by bad choices and uninvited circumstances. But they also know that being wrecked is not the end of the story. They have seen firsthand how God can take the mangled pieces of our lives and transform them into something beyond what we could fathom. Through their honest stories and insights into Scripture, you will find that your life doesn't have to be wrecked forever. But it can be wrecked for good.
This book challenged me to keep looking to God in the difficult times of life, whether because I chose sim and this consequences or because k chose to follow God and difficulties arise because of that.
The book makes some great points, such as culture affecting the views of the church and the church being inequipped to handle broken people. I found the writing distractingly choppy, going back and forth between writers and verses and examples. I stopped reading a few chapters in because it just didn't flow and started seeming repetitive. Still, others might find this book helpful so it might be worth a try for you. Maybe I'll give it another chance another day.
