Rebuilding your broken world

Gordon MacDonald's Rebuilding Your Broken World is a good book for thoughts.

For sinners,sufferers and strugglers alike,we might have to face this not uncommon,universal experience,revealed both our unguarded strength and unprepared heart,if we have not built any defenses in our unexamined lives.

We need repentance and restoration by the grace of God with the help of the community of Faith. We have to finish the running race when we are defeated and be encouraged in this rebuilding process.

In the introductory quote by C S Lewis,what suggested is but kind words from the author:"Think of me as a fellow-patient in the same hospital who,having been admitted a little earlier,could give some advice."

Insight into the truth of God
Insight into our own state
Insight into our environment of choices.

The freest person in the world is one with an open heart,a broken spirit,and a new direction in which to travel.

The Ten Peace Ledge Principles laid down in this process are :

1.Being Silent & Withdraw
2.Don't Defend Yourself
3.Enjoy the Amusement of God's Messengers
4.Assume the Ministry of the Interior
5.Listen to the Deep Things

6.Receive the Mercy,Live like a Forgiven Person
7.Walk Right through the Pain
8.Look for those Who need Grace and aren't getting it

10.Look for New Themes
