Broken

When Bishop David Briggs visits Alice—a suicidal young woman grieving her dead daughter in a squalid halfway house—he opens the vault on his own broken past. Beaten and enslaved by a cruel stepmother, consumed by uncontrollable rage, and driven to the edge of self-destruction, David tells his true story of survival and conversion. As Alice listens, she begins to believe that even the most broken life can be made whole. A raw, faith-centered story of hope and redemption.

• A true story so brutal it's hard to believe the man survived—and so hopeful you'll want to hand it to everyone you know who is struggling.
• 'You can't pluck healthy fruit from a diseased tree'—a bishop's raw testimony that no one is too broken to be made whole.
• Fiction and truth intertwined: the woman is invented, but everything the man tells her actually happened.
• Perfect for ministering to those battling grief, addiction, abuse, or despair.

Perfect for an adult reader—LDS or broadly Christian—who has endured abuse, addiction, grief, or feelings of worthlessness and needs to believe that even a shattered life can be healed through faith.
