Today I want to tell you about The Broken Way: A Daring Path into the Abundant Life
Voskamp is a writer whose words have truly changed my life. I have read and reread about finding everyday joy in One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are
and I’ve also truly treasured her Christmas book, The Greatest Gift: Unwrapping the Story of Christmas.
So when I saw that she was publishing a new book, The Broken Way, I was thrilled. The back of the book said “There’s a way, especially when things aren’t shaping up quite like you imagined, that makes life take the shape of more- more abundance, more intimacy, more God.” This statement really peeked my interest.
Voskamp writes in such an honest, vulnerable way that makes it so easy for me to relate to her. I also love that she writes about the beauty that surrounds her on her farm, in her (seven!) children, and in her marriage.
This book is no different. Voskamp explores several questions that challenge so many of us including:
What’s the answer to suffering, to the brokenness of all our hearts?
What do you do if you really want to know abundant wholeness- before it’s too late?
Where do we find peace?
In an honest, gritty, common way, Voskamp observes in the Bible and in her daily life that brokenness is not something that we need to run from, but rather something that should be embraced.
This is such an upside-down, opposite, refreshing approach to life. Instead of waiting until everything about life seems perfect, we can begin to let God use us, in all of our imperfectness, for his glory today.
And ultimately and most importantly, Voskamp encourages all of us to look for our peace- not in a place or in things or in new experiences- but in a person, Jesus.
So if you ever feel inadequate, broken, anxious, unsure… this book is for you. It will tenderly and powerfully encourage you toward more abundant living, something that we all crave.
We would love to give The Broken Way: A Daring Path into the Abundant Life

Favorite? The beach. Realistic? In bed. 🙂
Really excited about this book. Her work is inspired!
The broken way- I’d read ANYWHERE. But I love to read these days during my daughter’s ballet lessons in my mini-van, an oasis in the busy of life!
I love reading on my super comfy couch! It’s got the perfect lighting around it, tons of blankets and pillows and looots of space to stretch out. Bonus if the weather is gloomy and rainy – best reading weather 🙂
My favorite place is curled up on my couch with a cup of coffee and my fave blanket. Coffee shops are always fun too! 🙂
The favorite place to read a book in my home is my bedroom, it’s quiet and cozy, thanks!
This seems like an amazing book and just what I need during this time in my life. My favorite place to read is outside on my front porch! 🙂
what a treasure, i too have read her other book, and would love to snuggle up in my prayer chair, and
read this new book as i season through a very difficult time in my life. Thank you so much for your
website/blog that i treasure each and every day. You give us hope in a broken world!
My favorite place to read is lying on the living room couch.
My favorite place to read is in my cushy recliner!
My favorite place to read is curled up in my armchair in my living room.
Well, I’m happiest reading on vacation on a chaise under a canopy, but aside from that, at home on the couch, the swivel chair, or the big leather chair — although the latter is so comfortable that I invariably end up napping! Of course, that’s because I sit with my head on one arm rest and my legs flung over the other arm rest, not sitting in it like it’s a chair. Just might have something to do with it…!!!
Favorite place to read is in bed at night when everything is quiet. This sounds like a great book. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite place to read is on my front porch, I love to read outside it’s just peaceful to me.
I loved 1000 Gifts! I’m sure that this one is wonderful too!
Favorite place? Outside on a mild, breezy day. That seems appropriate for an Ann Voskamp book. : )
My favorite place to read is within sight of the ocean – on the beach, in a window with a view of the waves, on a hill… you name it. I also love my king-sized bed with hand-knitted afghan and a mug of chai. Diving in…
My favorite place to read is on the deck. I can soak up the sun’s warmth and appreciate God’s tapestry, with my dogs at my feet, happy to get a pat every now and then.
Winter finds me in my chair with a blanket and the fireplace going.
I’ve always loved curling up in bed with a good book!
I love to read in my comfy chair by the bay window with my cup of coffee! Normally my almost 2 year old daughter is in the matching chair next to me, so not the quietest of places but definitely cozy!
Would love to win The Broken Way, but if I don’t, I have The Greatest Gift sitting on my bookshelf, waiting for me to pick it up during advent!
I love reading in a recliner in my office 🙂
I love reading curled up on the couch or, when the sun is shining, on the back deck.
My fave place to read a book such as this and relax in his peace is in my bed at the end or beginning of another day.
