Broken for Good

Have you ever heard the biblical story of the prodigal son? Does a father lovingly-even happily-forgiving his wayward son seem too much like a fairy tale? Is it hard for you to believe that people who have failed or made bad choices can be redeemed? And that there's a God who actually wants to restore and heal those who make mistakes and battle with consequences?

John Cox served as a Christian pastor for sixteen years sincerely believing in God. But the moment he kissed another man's wife, he lost the ability to see God. Unable to step back, acknowledge his mistake, and ask for forgiveness, his despair and disillusionment lead him into a disastrous, adulterous affair, which eventually resulted in broken ties with his wife, his church, and God.

Divorced, from the ministry and his marriage, John plunged into a depression, which he fully expected to be the end of his story. But when a visit to his dying father starts to unpack the emotional wounds he'd buried throughout his life, a new self-awareness begins to dawn. Slowly but surely, God reveals to John the truth about grace, forgiveness, and love.
