The Description

Publication Date: June 4, 2024

Experience the Blessings of Brokenness

We’re all broken. Mentally, physically, relationally, or emotionally–it looks different for each person. But the pain, grief, and hopelessness we feel are the same.

Diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at age five, Rob Roozeboom watched helplessly as his illness destroyed his dreams. Feeling painfully different and forgotten, he questioned his very existence, rebelling against God. But God wasn’t done with him yet. Weaving his inspiring story with biblical teaching, Rob offers help for anyone feeling unloved, unseen, or unworthy, including how to

· process feelings of insecurity, inferiority, disappointment, and hopelessness
· replace lies and negative cultural labels with truths from God’s Word
· wrestle with your faith when everything’s out of control
· experience strength in your weakness
· receive the hope available in Jesus

In your dark hours, God still chooses you–still has purpose for you. And turning to Him is the first step toward your brighter future.

The Review

As a child, Rob Roozeboom’s diagnosis of muscular dystrophy altered his plans for the future. While unable to overcome physical challenges, a teen Christian weekend gave him a fresh perspective.

Roozeboom shares his story in Broken Still Chosen, a motivational look at finding hope in Jesus when you feel unloved, unseen, or forgotten. Organized into ten chapters, the book incorporates the author’s personal experiences to reinforce the key concepts.

The chapter focusing on how labels hurt stands out because of its impactful message. Cultural labels such as “disabled,” “damaged,” and “less than” promote a deceptive view of an individual. The author focuses on how God transforms cultural labels into positive spiritual ones.

The author incorporates countless examples of his physical shortcomings but counters them with the spiritual gifts that enable him to carry out his unique purpose.

Amy Wilson
My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I'm just glad she didn't find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles -- all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups! "Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexie Blake, and Kristin Hannah are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Iris Johansen, and J.A. Konrath. I’m always ready to discover new-to-me authors, especially when I toss in a palate cleanser that is much different than what I would normally read. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.
