In this book, pastor Alan Nelson doesn't try to find a source for our hurting, but instead offers an encouraging look at the hopeful side of brokenness. The breaking process--something God uses to make us stronger--is the cocoon stage of the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly. The result of this process, if we respond to it correctly, is greater wisdom, more fruitfulness, and an expanded capacity for the Holy Spirit to lead us to wholeness, This book will help you prepare to face life's challenges and disappointments with faith and love.

He loves me, He loves me not. When you encounter a painful event in your life-divorce, death of a family member, financial setback-you might wonder if God really loves you: "If He cares so much about me, why does He put me through times of suffering and brokenness?" Actually, God doesn't use tough times to punish you-He uses them to help you reach a level of spiritual maturity that cannot otherwise be reached. What feels uncomfortable now only makes you stronger and more beautiful down the road. In fact, God uses the breaking process out of love, hoping you'll respond to it in a way that brings you closer to Him. In Embracing Brokenness, Pastor Alan Nelson offers an encouraging look at the hopeful side of brokenness. Understanding the process of brokenness won't necessarily stop the hurting, but it will make the pain much more bearable. And you won't have to play the game of "He loves me, He loves me not," because you'll clearly know the depth of God's love for you.
