Item description from seller

Embracing Brokenness (2002) by Alan E. Nelson ? NavPress ISBN: 9781576833131 | Condition: Fine | From Crappy Old Books Ah, Embracing Brokenness . The title alone sounds like something you?d overhear in a coffee shop between a philosophy major and someone with very good handwriting in their journal. But Alan E. Nelson means it: this is a heartfelt, soul-searching book about what it really means to accept our flaws, our wounds, our rough edges, and?rather than duct-taping them out of sight?actually let them shape us into something stronger, kinder, and more real. This particular copy, published in 2002 by NavPress, is in fine condition , which is a bit ironic given the subject matter. Not a bent corner, not a tear, not even the faintest coffee stain?this book has managed to avoid the kind of literal brokenness its title celebrates. It?s like buying a pre-distressed pair of jeans only to discover they?ve turned up looking fresh off the shelf. A small paradox, but a delightful one. Inside, Nelson weaves personal stories, practical wisdom, and spiritual insight with the kind of gentle encouragement that makes you feel like you?re having a conversation with a very patient friend. It?s about faith, healing, and the strange beauty of being a work in progress?written with honesty and hope. Whether you?re picking it up as part of a spiritual journey, a personal growth project, or just because you like your book titles to sound like indie band names, this one delivers. Condition-wise, this copy has been very well cared for. The binding is firm, the pages are clean, and the cover practically beams with wholesomeness. It?s the sort of book you could gift, display, or keep by your bedside table without a hint of embarrassment?unless, of course, your bedside table is already occupied by a teetering tower of ?to read one day? books. So here it is: Embracing Brokenness , in fine condition, ready to walk you through life?s cracks and kintsugi moments without showing any cracks of its own. A neat little irony wrapped up in a near-perfect paperback. Crappy Old Books: selling the beautifully unbroken copies of books about brokenness since, well, right now.
