Broken Parts Missing Pieces

by Don Johnson

Many of us have sought insights from the experience of ancient cultures for the kind of wisdom that impacts and transforms our lives in the modern world. Johnson leaves nothing to abstraction in the connections he makes between the microcosm of his inner world – formed in the crucible of Native American tribal life – and the macrocosm of Western Civilization. From a Western European perspective, Johnson’s work is a form of confessional literature or biographical history. Yet, clearly, the unwinding of his literary method flows more centrally from the core traditions of indigenous peoples and their leaders who have classically given guidance and instruction directly from the content of their inner world of dreams, visions and intimate narratives of personal journey.

[Donna Hues · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rev. Don Johnson grew up on the Makah Indian Reservation in Neah Bay, Washington. His book, Broken Part, Missing Pieces is an insightful autobiography of his life as a Native American. Throughout this story, he weaves God's act of redemption using his own broken, missing parts to create a whole vessel formed and ready to use to touch lives and bring the lost into the Kingdom of God. A wonderfully insightful read that will engage the reader from beginning to end.
