Brokenness Made Simple

He is near the broken — the contrite heart God will not despise (Psalm 51:17).

He is near the broken.

Some books you read because you are curious. This one is for the reader who is crushed — and it meets them at rock bottom with the Bible's tenderest promise: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18).

Across fourteen chapters, Brokenness Made Simple walks through what God actually wants from a broken heart (a sacrifice He will not despise), how He draws near to it, and how He leads it from breaking to wholeness — through David's confession after Nathan, the tax collector's prayer, godly sorrow, the Potter's wheel, Moses's meekness, tears God collects in a bottle, and the scars Jesus still carries. Each chapter ends with one small, doable action step. The appendix answers fourteen honest questions, and the book closes with a Trinitarian prayer to the Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit.

Plain, warm, everyday language. Scripture first. For anyone who has nothing left to offer — and for anyone who loves them.
