Fractured Faith: Finding Your Way Back to God in an Age of Deconstruction

Product Description \nAfter your faith has fractured, let what takes its place be the real thing . . . at last.
Somewhere along the way, the Christianity you knew began to crumble. You began to suspect your faith was misplaced. Disillusionment set in. Churches hurt you. Their people failed you. Christian institutions were exposed as fake. And in it all, God was silent. Is He gone? Or is God really there, waiting for you to find Him instead of the counterfeits?
If you’re walking this difficult spiritual path, Lina AbuJamra understands you. After experiencing the near deconstruction of her own faith, Lina had to rebuild something more solid when the faith she once knew let her down. With her diagnostic style that comes from her training as an ER doc, Lina helps you grapple with questions like:\nWhere is God in my pain?
Is this how Christians are supposed to act?
Why did my story end up this way?
Is this the normal Christian life?
Why is it so hard for Christians to love?\nLet Fractured Faith help you find your way back to God. You just might discover that the real God has been waiting for you all along.\nReview \nPraise for Fractured Faith
“In Fractured Faith, Lina shows us that doubt, loss, grief, pain, questions, and disappointments can ultimately lead to a strengthened and deepened faith. Lina gives expression to much of the angst that many of us feel but fear naming. Her transparency, authenticity, and biblical insight lead us to a place of ultimate hope and trust in Jesus, and His never-failing love for us.”—CHRISTINE CAINEFounder, A21 & Propel Women
“In Fractured Faith, Lina AbuJamra—ER doc by training and temperament—narrates her painful winnowing through a pastor’s betrayal, a church’s failure, and a lineup of wolves ready to devour her and whatever other sheep remained. Lina’s journey is messy. Some of the things Lina says in this book make me cringe. Survival comes in fits. It grabs at the dark and grabs at the throat. And in the midst of this, we see grace: ‘the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment’ (2 Peter 2:9). Fractured Faith points to the glory of God in our weakness and to the Lord’s power to keep His true sheep in the grace that we need to finish the race well. Even when our pastors do not measure up. Even when our churches do not measure up. Even when friends prove themselves to be wolves. Even when we do not measure up. Christ always measures up. And that’s the point.”—ROSARIA CHAMPAGNE BUTTERFIELDAuthor, speaker, homeschool mother
“Fractured Faith is a special book because it details the pain and promise of what it means to be human. Through unpacking her own story, Lina wrestles with many of the deepest questions in one hand while also doing what she does best: holding God’s promises in the other and helping to acknowledge and reframe the pain in a profoundly new light.”—STEVE CARTERPastor, author of The Thing Beneath the Thing
“We’ve all heard stories of people who have left the church or their faith due to painful circumstances within the body of believers, with people they know and even their experiences with God. If you’ve ever found yourself in this place and felt like you were too hurt to think about beginning again, I truly hope you will pause to read Fractured Faith during this part of your story. In this stunning book, Lina wisely gives voice to the ache many feel. Don’t miss this one.”—LYSA TERKEURST#1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
“Stunningly honest. Brilliantly written. Biblically insightful. The questions Lina asks, as she takes us on her journey of deconstructing and then reconstructing her faith, are our questions as well if we dare to be that vulnerable. If you have ever grappled with suffering, doubt, and disappointment in the Christian life, tempted to abandon Christianity completely, read this book. Fractured Faith will inspire you to trust Christ i
