review 1: This book was boring and brilliant. Boring in that it read as predictably as I anticipated. Brilliant in that she spilled her guts on paper, landed a tidy little book deal (probably facilitated by her well-established connections), then sold her anguish for $16.00 a pop (paperback). Mrs. Morgan hoped it would resonant with you, but I'm left believing that if she really cared about you, she'd have blogged online for free. I wouldn't even call this a self-help book for anyone but her. Then again, money goes a long way to taking off the edge of one's problems. Well played, Mrs. Morgan, well played.
review 2: Elisa Morgan's The Beauty of Broken is woven through with honesty, encouragement and hope. Using the power of story -- her life story and her family's s
... moretory and yes, biblical illustrations -- Elisa Morgan reminds readers that we live in a world of brokenness. And then she offers us the hope that God meets us in our brokenness. He loves us in our brokenness. He uses us -- in our brokenness.I so appreciated Elisa Morgan's choice to be real about who she is, how she struggled to accept and embrace her brokenness. And as I read The Beauty of Broken, it spoke to the broken parts of my life -- and encouraged me to look for God in them.I won't be placing this book on my bookshelf -- no, I'll keep The Beauty of Broken beside my reading chair, a close-at-hand-reference when I need to be reminded that "brokenness doesn't disqualify us" from being used by God. less
