Brokenness

I checked out a book from the library six weeks ago called, “Brokenness: The Heart God Revives (Revive Our Hearts Series)“by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I finally finished reading it today because it is due tomorrow. It is an awesome, highly recommended read. You will definitely get something out of it, and it is a short book. However, you might want to take longer to savor it than I did.

Below are some quotes I enjoyed from the book:

“Again and again, God’s Word reveals that he is not as concerned about the depth or extent of the sin we commit as he is about our attitude and response when we are confronted with our sin.” p.65

p. 67 she notes the anguish of soul one must feel

“It is in His very nature to be repulsed by pride and to draw near to those who have a humble, broken spirit.” p. 68

“I believe one of the reasons that so many people live with chronic loneliness is that they are unwilling to die.” p. 104

“True Christian community, as Pastor Ray Ortlund described it, is something few believers ever experience, because it requires that each individual let go of “self” and pour out his life on behalf of others.” p. 105
