Broken Yet Beloved
The Surprising Hope for Sinners Like Us: A Journey Through God’s Justice, Mercy, and the Cross

We know we’re broken.

We see it in the world around us—wars, injustice, addiction, betrayal. We see it in our own hearts—pride, lust, anger, secret sins we thought we’d buried long ago. And sometimes, we wonder: Could God really love someone like me?

In Broken Yet Beloved, pastor and Bible teacher Marvin McKenzie offers a piercing yet hopeful look at humanity’s greatest problem—sin—and God’s breathtaking solution in Jesus Christ. This is not another shallow self-help book that tells you to try harder or think better. It’s a deep dive into the holiness of God, the depravity of man, and the surprising hope that comes when we finally face our need for a Savior.

Drawing lessons from the lives of biblical figures like David, Solomon, and others, this book confronts the uncomfortable realities of sin head-on. But it doesn’t leave you there. With warmth and clarity, Marvin McKenzie points to the cross—where God’s justice and mercy meet, and where broken sinners like us are made whole.

In this book, you will discover

• Why the greatest danger of sin isn’t what it costs you on earth but how it turns your heart away from God

• How even “good” people like King David or Solomon can fall into devastating sin

• The difference between superficial confession and true repentance that restores

• Why God’s holiness should humble us, and how His grace lifts us up again

• The hope of forgiveness, even if you feel too far gone

This book is for you if

• You’ve grown weary of trying to “be good enough” for God

• You feel stuck in patterns of sin and don’t know how to break free

• You wonder how a holy God could love someone as flawed as you

• You want to deepen your understanding of the gospel and grow in gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice
