Publisher Description
What happens when a broken world slams into your comfortable life?
Wrecked is about the life we are afraid to live. It’s about radical sacrifice and selfless service—how we find purpose in the midst of pain. It's a look at how we discover fulfillment in the least likely of places. It's about living like we mean it. It’s a guide to growing up and giving your life away, helping you live in the tension between the next adventure and the daily mundane.
This book is for us—a generation intent on pursuing our life's work in a way that leaves us without regrets.
Author Jeff Goins shares his own experience of struggling as a missionary and twentysomething who understands the call to live radically while dealing with the everyday responsibilities of life. Wrecked is a manifesto for a generation dissatisfied with the status quo and wanting to make a difference.
Customer Reviews
We will become less to gain more
If you want to live a life that brings change - feeds the hungry, knocks down prejudices, wins souls for Christ you can't stay aloof in a bubble from what's going on around you. Being stretched is not comfortable, suffering is not fun but without pain there's no true joy either.
True compassion is not easy, but heartbreaking and uncomfortable. Living generously means giving up your own desires and comforts for the sake of others.
It's not about looking for thrills. Sometimes the thing you are called to do could be called mundane or tedious, not exciting but that's part of laying down your rights and wants and digging in and getting to work.
This is not a big book but it's taken me a while to read it because you read some, then put it down for a while and chew on it, then pick it up and do it all over again. I love his writing style, it's easy to read and understand, and I haven't been bored at any point. It's not that the writing is heavy, but the material makes me pause to think.
