About the Book

In this age of pain, suffering, and fear, God often feels very far away. Finding answers to our human afflictions requires more than simply opening the Bible: we must dig deeper. Physicians for Brokenness identifies the difficulties facing the human condition and effectively shows how we can live in a world riddled with "brokenness."

Theologist R. Deborah Williams suggests that to truly know why brokenness exists in our world, we must first address its history. Only then can we see that God does not want us to stay uncomforted, but instead wants to help. Williams shows that the answer is in Jesus Christ who redeems, heals, and restores us to a place of wholeness.

We are made whole in order to serve those in need through the power of Jesus Christ. By acting like the Good Samaritan, we are instrumental in restoring health and being true physicians to the broken.
