Broken for Good

This is my story, but if you are a leader, it is your story too. It’s a story of vision and vulnerability, of being yourself and being betrayed, of crashing and burning and emerging the better for it. —Matthew Cork

Southern California. Palm trees and white teeth. Glimmer and shine and a thriving church. An exhausted pastor. A sudden mutiny. A grown man weeping under a lonely gray sky. The power of taking a stand. A memoir-guidebook, Broken for Good is the portrait of a leader in his darkest hour. Showing us life past the breaking point, Cork and Kemp dare us to live truly. To be vulnerable but free. To take a risk, give ourselves away, and find God at the end of our rope.

There are lots of ministry leadership books about trends and technologies and best practices. But few begin organically: with the “you” that you bring into ministry. Let Matthew’s story help you look in at yourself; it might be just what you need.  With questions for reflection at the end of each chapter, you are invited to relate Matthew’s experiences to your own life and leadership.
