I found Restored by Cindy Brinker Simmons to be a truly refreshing read. Cindy’s ability to weave together her personal story about her mother and her faith journey is deeply impactful. What stood out to me most was the redemptive quality of her narrative, particularly how she integrates her journey with her husband into a story that is both encouraging and motivating. Her vulnerability and openness create a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith, offering readers hope and strength to navigate their own challenges. Cindy’s message of restoration is one that resonates deeply, reminding us of the beauty that can emerge from life’s most difficult seasons.

Cindy Brinker Simmons' remarkable book, Restored: Reconnecting Life's Broken Pieces, tells readers not only the story of her own life, which includes some deep moments of suffering; but the path she took to hold onto God and to remember the truths of the Bible. More than that, she shares how in the midst of pain and difficulty, we can be people who reach out to God for joy, and embody His joy in our own lives.
The beautiful cover photo of a kintsugi bowl, with gold and light shining through its cracks, illustrates the opposite of what we can often think of our own brokenness; where we think that parts of ourselves are broken beyond repair. Cindy encourages that idea; that God can heal our broken places and bring beauty to replace the ashes we long to have replaced. Using Scripture, she takes readers through paths of restoration in these key areas of our lives; momentum, perseverance, joy, community, relationships, compassion, and purpose. These are areas that our God can heal. And we can partner with Him in this process.
I 100% recommend this book to any reader who's wondered how the darkened or damaged places of the past or the present can be healed. There is a pathway to healing; and Restored: Reconnecting Life's Broken Pieces shows us one way that Cindy Brinker Simmons walked it out. It's a journey that we can walk out as well.
I received a copy of this book from the author. All opinions shared here are my own.
