Read About the Restoration of Hope in Barbara Higby's I Was Broken, Too

HACKENSACK, N.J., Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- I Was Broken, Too by Barbara Higby describes a place of brokenness that drains hope and devastates the heart, a place familiar to her through personal losses and sorrow. She writes, "Fading hope is like fading light—it darkens our surroundings…Life's assaults weaken us and, in our diminished state, they carry us to places where fear threatens and vision dims. In the midst of the darkness we can't see a way out and the prominence of our problems obscures the hand of God."

Barbara's book reminds readers that focus matters, shattered plans make room for new opportunities, it's possible to reboot our minds, and above all, grace always awaits us. She expands on these points as four paths to hope, supporting each one with personal experiences, biblical truth, and the stories of others. She does not claim to erase her readers' suffering or restore their losses, but offers these paths as a way to renew their hope.

The book is dedicated to those who are hurting, written by someone who has been in their place. With sensitive understanding, Barbara writes, "God is attentive to our walk and holds our hand when we face obstacles. He is not too weak or tired to intervene…More than that, He has a purpose for that path and knows where it leads. He alone sees the end from the beginning. And He does all things well, always." It is Barbara's prayer that her readers can (or soon will) say with her, "I was broken, too, and attest to God's mending mercy in their lives.
