Life is messy.

It isn't a color-within-the-lines exercise.

It's a wild and outrageous invitation

full of uncertain outcomes.

The mess of life is both inevitable and unexpected.

It is filled with delightful mysteries

and frustrating predicaments.

In our disposable culture,

we throw broken things away.

So, what will we do with broken people,

broken relationships, broken institutions, broken families,

and of course, our very own broken selves?

We are all broken and wounded.

This book is about putting our lives back together,

and allowing ourselves to be put back together,

when life doesn't turn out as we expected it to.

Based on his own heart-wrenching personal journals,

Matthew Kelly shares how the worst three years of his life

affected him, by exploring this question:

Can someone who has been broken be healed

and become more beautiful and more lovable

than ever before?

The answer will fill you with hope.

There has never been a more urgent need

for us to attend to what is happening within us.

This is quite simply

the right book at the right time.
