We love to cheer for the underdog and believe to our core that every life makes a difference. And we are right. There is no one God can’t use and no one whose brokenness is too broken for God. We know this is true for our friends when we want to encourage them. Yet, when it comes to the places of our innermost sense of shame and regret, we often wonder if it is really true that God can work all things together for good for those who love Him.

Angie Smith is one who was quick to encourage a friend, but struggled to believe that God could truly make something spectacular out of her broken- ness and disappointments. Responding to God’s leading to both break and reconstruct a simple pitcher, she reflected:

It was as though God were saying, here you are, Angie. You are mended. You are filled with my Spirit, and I am asking you to pour yourself out.

The image of my life as a broken pitcher was beautiful to me, but at the same time, it was hard to look at all of the cracks. I ran my fingers along them and told Him I wish it had been different. How I wished I had always loved Him, always obeyed Him, always sought Him the way I should. I was mad at the imperfections, years wasted, gaping holes where it should be smooth. But God, my ever-gracious God, was gentle and yet convicting as He explained.

My dearest Angie. How do you think the world has seen me? If it wasn’t for the cracks, I couldn’t seep out the way I do. I chose the pitcher. I chose you, just as you are.

Mended takes you on a journey to show how faith lived in the regular events of daily life is all that it takes to be a part of creating God’s picture of redemption in your life and those around you. Your life does make a difference—because of how He is magnified in the cracks.

Endorsements:

Even the blindest heart could behold the gift of God upon Angie Smith. The messages teeming from her life, her voice, and her pen have the capacity to pierce through all our protective barriers. As she communicates, she throws herself into the same lot with the rest of us who struggle with fears and self-doubts and flaws but she leaves none of us languishing there. God speaks hope, help, and healing through Angie and does it so endearingly and even so humorously that you let your guard down and receive, even before you meant to. I first became acquainted with Angie’s story through her blog and remember reading the entire story of her darling baby girl, Audrey, in one sitting. I felt like she was talking straight to me across a small coffee table as she described the heartbreaking news of Audrey’s prognosis, the weeks of pregnancy still to come, and the sacred moments they held her in their arms before God swept her into His. She wrote about how Audrey would remain in their hearts forever and, through her story, she has remained in many of ours. Once I got to know more of Angie’s journey, I was slack-jawed by the realization that the two of us had our own connection in Christ. The Lord Jesus had called her to salvation as she worked through the Bible study called Breaking Free. What grace to tie two women’s lives together with journeys so different by the same woven thread of redemption! He called me to write that journey out of the restoration He brought from my own brokenness. That He would use it to accomplish something so life-giving in her brought me to my knees. I knew her to be a gifted writer as I read her blog, but it was not long before I saw more than that. I saw God blend a natural giftedness for writing with a clear determination to surrender that gift to one gorgeous end: Christ’s great fame. And then, I also saw a friend. Angie Smith is a true writer- one who has a perspective that comes only from walking through every shade of life and the shadow of death in His tight grasp."

An Unusual Devotional of Beauty and Depth

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

Angie writes a beautiful book. I loved the chapter titled, 'Why Weren't You Moses?'. I'd rank her with Ann Voskamp, but Mended is easily read out of sequence, each chapter stands alone. I like that because I can leave it in the car and read it whenever without losing the thread of a long narrative like One Thousand Gifts.

Great Daily Reminders

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018

This is a wonderful book. It's written as a daily devotional type book, with a challenge at the end of each chapter. My sister and I read it together and each week would come back together and talk about what we were thinking about regarding the book. It's not a lot of new, profound thoughts, just a lot of very good reminders.

I read this book in preparation for planning our church's ladies retreat. It's a great read. I love the idea of being broken and mending and the activity Ange Smith does in this book is quite powerful. The girls on the committee and myself did the activity Angie recommends in this book and it was a profound experience. Hard, but good. I would recommend this book to anyone who is broken and looking for a process that is healing.

A healing balm for my heart

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016

I'm so thankful that I finally bought and read this book. I feel like I've sat across a table and had coffee and deep conversation with Angie and what a blessing it has been. I highly recommend this book for any woman. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and find yourself a comfy chair while you dive in to this beautiful book. You won't be the same afterward. And it's a good thing!

This book has opened my eyes to many things. I have bought it for 5 people so far. I like it because it is broken up by subject, but not listed by the day and not numbered questions. This makes it less pressure and no guilt if you "miss a day" it's at a pace you set. It's great

I loved this book so much, I bought it for friends for Christmas.
I love the writing of Angie - she's so real & seems like your girlfriend just chatting with you.
I particuarly love this book because its broken in a way where you can read it, or you can just use it as a devotional daily. Its got things at the end of each chapter that you could use as a discussion or personal reflection.
I honestly marked this book up so much, I went & gave each chapter a star to 4 stars so I know which ones spoke to my heart specifically.

I love the way Angie speaks directly to you in her writing. She has a conversational tone that pulls you into her world and tells you it's ok to be broken but God doesn't want you to stay that way. She inspires you to seek God and let Him heal you.
