Publisher's summary

A New York Times best seller! 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 best-selling 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.

Narration

The context of the book is great. The animation in the narrators voice was overwhelming for the first several chapters. I’m not sure if she toned it down a bit or I just got used to it but it seemed more tolerable for the remainder of the book. The content of the book was worth the perseverance to finish the book.

Brutally Personal

This book contained an ongoing odyssey of a life tuning in to God's purpose. The raw details exposed by the author opens the way for the "least" of us to have hope for today and full assurance of freedom now and in the future, no matter what the past has buried. Thank you.

Beautifully Broken

This is the best book ever! It's changed my life and how I view Christ. Absolutely worth a listen. Thank you Ann for sharing your brokenness.

The poetic prose of Ann Voskamp

Reading Ann Voskamp is a great experience. Getting to hear it read aloud is to capture fuller meaning and greater appreciation for the beauty of her word-smithing! The Broken Way is full of rich analogy that helped me grasp what Christ has given me in His broken offering.

Rich

This book is rich. Filled with truth and grace. The narrator made use of her gift of reading as well. So good!

Must read book...

I have gone through this book a few times. Love it! Must read Must read!!!!!

Disliked the narration

Honestly, I couldn’t get through the first chapter of this book because of the narration. The narrator takes deep, dramatic breaths that make it more about her voice than the content in my opinion. That made it hard to focus and ruined it for me. Will try to order the hardback. Disappointed.

A must read! An excellent narrator!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is for everyone.

Have you listened to any of Jamiee Paul’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but she has the perfect voice for this book!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no

Almost as good...

as if Ann Voskamp had narrated the book herself. The sequel to One Thousand Gifts did not disappoint.

Great!

Beautiful, great, helpful!
