Book Cover & Preview Text
God does not look upon our problems as we do or as others do. Where people see stress God sees opportunities. Where people see crisis, God sees growth and improvement. God's purpose in times of crisis and problems is to teach His children precious lessons. They are intended to educate, and build us up. And when we learn from them and ride out these storms of life, people will see the great hands of God at work. We need to see the joy and opportunities through times of problems. We can learn to make our life joyful by seizing the crisis and growing from it. To become the person that we are capable of being for our benefit and His glory. God wants to use our problems for good, to make us better and stronger for our personal development and in turn for us to be able to help others in their lives.

About the Book
Broken but Usable: God Uses Imperfect People recounts the spiritual journey of Apostle Milton Adams, founding pastor of Broken Chain Ministries in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He draws upon his own experiences, including his years growing up in Mississippi and his years ministering in Wisconsin, and brings them into conversation with key passages from the Bible.
The mix of personal story, sacred Scripture, and pastoral insight makes Broken but Usable an eloquent and effective proclamation of the gospel’s assurance that God, like a potter who refashions a vessel until it is just right, works over the clay of individual lives until He reshapes flawed people to meet His plans for their lives.
Broken but Usable: God Uses Imperfect People illustrates God’s persistence and patience in working with people in the midst of their trials and failures. If you have known such times in your life, then Broken but Usable will leave you with feelings of assurance, encouragement, and hope. You will close the cover on the last page, recognizing that while your life may not be turning out as you had planned, you still are clay in the hands of God, who is molding you into a vessel that suits His purposes.
