Fractured Faith

Apologetics

“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.”
