The Broken Way: A Daring Path Into the Abundant Life

The New York Times Best Seller
2017 The New York Times Best Seller

A New York Times bestseller! Brokenness doesn't only find us in the big things--things like illness, hardship, or grief. It can find you in the everyday. Learn to walk in a way that glorifies Jesus and receive freedom, not beyond your fear and pain, but within it.

We are fragile and we know it. Sometimes, living with Christ in a messed-up world feels less like victory and more like walking uphill. Ann Voskamp, the New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts, sits at the edge of her life and her own unspoken brokenness and asks: What if you really want to live abundantly before it's too late? What do you do if you really want to know abundant wholeness?

This one's for the lovers and the sufferers. This one's for the busted ones who are ready to bust free, the ones ready to break molds, break chains, break measuring sticks, and break all this bad brokenness with an unlikely good brokenness. You could be one of the Beloved who is broken--and still lets yourself be loved.

Ann desperately wants you to know:

  • God is attracted to the broken, the sin-sick, and those in need
  • The very things people are most ashamed of are the exact broken things that draw God to his people
  • You can live in the face of your unspoken pain
  • You can discover and trust this broken way--the way to not be afraid of broken things

The Broken Way is simple in presentation, written in Ann's unique style--a new way for desperate Christians in need of a fresh revelation of the grace of God.

Praise for this book

What you need to know about Ann Voskamp: after the stunning success of One Thousand Gifts, she has chosen to decline the mantle of spiritual guru and instead to become even more intimately vulnerable. In this book, she helps us slow down, stop time, and allow gritty faith to penetrate, expose, and bring the hint of healing to the mess of daily life. For all imperfect people---in other words, for all of us---she offers a compassionate and wise way forward to help navigate our broken world.--Philip Yancey, editor-at-large, Christianity Today
In The Broken Way, a deeply personal revelation, Ann Voskamp leads us on a journey toward embracing and celebrating the brokenness in each of us. The passionate words that pour from her soul will make you weep and shout hallelujah at the same time.--Kay Warren, Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, California
There are only a handful of authors in the whole world who I try to find and read every last word they've ever written. Ann Voskamp is one of those. The Broken Way is no exception, as Ann does what she does best---articulating the incredible grace of Jesus in a profound way that makes all of us go YES! but had no words for before. This must-read book will give life to any weary soul.--Jefferson Bethke, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus > Religion and It's Not What You Think
Ann Voskamp is convincing that there is nothing broken that cannot be restored by making the living Christ present. She provides a stunningly fresh treatment of a subject so often littered with clichés. My favorite phrase is, "Fight back the dark with doxology . . . doxology can detox the day."--Eugene H. Peterson, emeritus professor of spiritual theology, Regent College, Vancouver, BC
I read The Broken Way with tears streaming down my face, my spirit crying out, "YES, YES, YES, YES!" Few authors have impacted my own life like Ann Voskamp. If we can live out the truth contained within The Broken Way, I believe we will reach and impact our generation like never before. So powerful. So prophetic. So profound. Please read this book.--Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women
The Broken Way is the most honest and beautiful healing balm for an aching heart. The authenticity and grace from which Ann Voskamp writes are refreshing and life-giving. This book is a true gift from God!--Lysa Terkeurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
Ann Voskamp's skill with words, her tenderness with hearts---it is incomparable. Life can leave us looking for an exit, a window. Ann has a hand on the curtain. She has a way of releasing light, just enough to chase shadows and give hope.--Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author
Most of us want to run away from our brokenness. Ann Voskamp runs right into it, sharing the shattered pieces of her own life to help us acknowledge the shards we may be sifting through. Ann helps us see God's good purpose in all of it, and how He guides us, not around the pain, but through it. Beautifully written, The Broken Way offers a generous measure of hope, filled with Ann's tender honesty and God's powerful truth.--Liz Curtis Higgs, bestselling author of Bad Girls of the Bible
In the way only she can, Ann Voskamp invites us to discover that the whole life begins in our brokenness. Ann knows what it means to be broken. She knows what it means to have scars. This isn't her theory; it's her heartbeat. Lean in to this book, and listen for it.--Lauren Chandler, singer/songwriter and author of Steadfast Love
Ann Voskamp penetrates the soul with words that arrest us, convict us, and compel us to the arms of our Father. Ann Voskamps come along once in a generation. We best pay attention.--Gabe Lyons, author of Good Faith
