In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart

In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart

Ruth Graham. Grand Rapids, Mich. Zondervan. 2004. 218 pp. (Paperback).

Here is a book for people who are hurting emotionally and spiritually. The author is the daughter of Evangelist Billy Graham who has written: “She has been through a number of difficult experiences, but in the end she has come out with a renewed dedication and a strong faith in the Word.”

Drawing from the Bible, Graham deals with such issues as breaking free from isolation, learning to forgive, cultivating stillness and trading our masks for spontaneity. This work is also for persons who would like to be healing influences for others. Phillip Yancey has written: “This book should be read only by imperfect, flawed people in serious need of God’s grace.”
