BROKEN TO PEACE

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:18:23 -0800

Image:

Bad things happen to good people. Good parents have children who become addicted to drugs. Reliable breadwinners lose their jobs. Innocent children have parents who hurt them. Healthy folks get sick. Accidents happen. And yes, even Christians take anti-depressants. Many of us live our problems in silence, but Broken to Peace features interviews with men and women who are living their lives-and faith-out loud. Using their pain to educate, inspire and help others, the straight-from-the-heart Christians featured in this compelling video series tell real life stories about the troubles that brought them to their knees-breast cancer, job loss, addiction, loss of a child, clinical depression and physical abuse. With God as their support, they were able to rise again, one step at a time, and continue their walk towards spiritual healing and human wholeness. Resource includes: - Six video discussion starters - Downloadable Leader Guide for facilitating group study - Promotional resources for your Bible study or small group campaign

Their outrageous view of money provides an amusing yet insightful reflection on struggles we all face in our consumer-driven culture.
