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.

I was the cause of my world being broken. Within days of this terrrible implosion a friend told me to read this book. God absolutely used this book in rebuilding my broken world. Now I have a life that is much more than I ever thought I could have. The road was long and not easy but you can rebuild your life again.

Everyone's life has moment where it becomes broken, whether by your own hand or no fault of your own. Loss of any kind can do it, death, divorce, lost relationships, lost job, and making sinful choices. This is a book that explores how to face and overcome your broken world and how to heal as quickly as possible by dealing with guilt, shame, anger- all the human emotions that come with loss and major transitions in life. MacDonald gives an honest and very personal look into his world and God continues to use him as he shows others the way to being back in God's will and mercy and surviving the storm. Excellent read!

This book should be required reading for anyone in leadership in a group or ministry like Celebrate Recovery. Even if you are not in leadership you will feel like you have come in contact with a loving but strong commrade. Gordon MacDonald has the seasoned, boots on the ground experience, intellect and compassion to connect with "broken world people". Don't miss the insight, encouragement and strategies for the future within these pages.

This is a very good book, but pales in comparison to "Ordering your Private world.
