Publisher Description
Only two in 10 Americans under 30 believe attending a church is important or worthwhile. Well over half of young adults raised in the Church have dropped out, with many having a strong anti-Church stance, many even believing the Church does more harm than good. Fr. Josh Johnson was one of these people. In Broken and Blessed, he tackles the harsh realities facing the Church in the 21st century.
With charity and courage, he speaks to his own generation of Catholic millennials, who often feel their needs and concerns are not being addressed by the Church or simply do not believe the Catholic faith has any relevance to their lives. Using his own experiences, both as a former struggling young Catholic and as a priest, Fr. Josh offers an inspiring witness of how he came to know God, rather than just knowing about him, and presents practical ways for us to truly know God as well.
Broken and Blessed:

Presents powerful and inspiring stories from Fr. Josh's own faith journey
Shows how one can truly encounter Jesus in a personal way

As a 32 year old, I sincerely appreciate Father Josh’s perspective in this book. It is not only relatable, but real. However, it is also transferable. Although this book is geared towards generation X, I highly encourage it for all. Father Josh speaks truth and does not sugarcoat our realities during our walk to eternity. His words are appropriate to all age groups and will provoke thought from anyone who reads it. This is a must read!
