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 brokenness--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
addictioninfertility and adoptionteen pregnancy and
abortiondivorce, homosexuality, and death
Each 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.
