Product Description
Ann Jensen - On Being, May 1989
The demand for instant replay has led many writers to subject their bitterest life experiences to premature analysis for the sake of good ideas, and good books. Gordon Macdonald knew the dangers when the brought forth a book from the ashes of his 'misbehaviour' - personal sin which destroyed his ministry, stressed his long-term marriage, and gave him a whole new perspective on suffering. He did not want his book to be seen as justification. He translates what he has learned about temptation, sin, forgiveness and recovery from Scripture and platitudes to stark realities. This is not a brassy, victorious, I-did-it-my-way book. Macdonald conservatism convinces the reader that here is a man restored to God, and therefore, able to turn and strengthen his brothers."

Rev Ian Coffey - 21st Century Christian, Dec 88
It's sad, but true, that the Christian Army often shoots its wounded. Macdonald - a man whose own world has been broken, and is gradually being rebuilt - writes with gut-wrenching honesty. He explores the reasons why Christians fall and then examines the ways in which God can rebuild what is broken. Although challenging, it is a book that speaks from the heart to the heart. When I started to read, I could hardly put it down because of its deep insights. ... if you're a 'broken world' person, or you care for those who are, this book is gold dust.

Gordon McDonald shares his heart in this book like he has never done before!
He handles the issue of personal brokeness and sin with great dignity and sensitivity.
He is a true example of one who wants to see the fallen restored fully and made useful again for the Kingdom Of God.
In my view, his best book yet!

Outstanding Insights for All Avenues of Christian Life
22 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
MacDonald offers painfully insightful looks into the lives of "broken world people." I have witnessed many persons of great faith whose personal worlds have crashed down around them, and MacDonald's book offers hope and practical advice for rebuilding their lives. I especially appreciated the chapter devoted to strategies on how to avoid "broken world experiences." Great insights for every Christian!

This book offers hope and inspiration for those who have been broken....It leads the reader to a clear understanding of God's unbelievable grace. I thank God that Gordon MacDonald and his wife, Gail, are willing to share from their pain and experience. Their writings have been a true gift.
