Publisher's summary
Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, “How on earth did things get so hard?”
I have—more times than I can count.
I’ll never forget how helpless I felt when it seemed like our life was falling apart, when our oldest daughter faced seemingly endless brushes with death, or when our finances were in shambles. In those moments, I felt everything I’d ever dreamed of, or God had ever promised, was shattering at my feet.
But I’ll also never forget when things changed, when on the darkest of days I heard a voice whisper, “There is beauty in the broken.”
From then on, every dark day took on new meaning. Life didn’t immediately get easier, but I had a brilliant guiding light to navigate by. And friend, let me tell you, life has become more wonderful than I could have ever imagined.
I want you to know that what seems irredeemable actually holds the promise of great beauty. And on those days when words don’t come easy, I believe this story can help you navigate through.

Story
Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinished - it's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January and empty by the end of the month and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly, they won't do it at all. If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.

Story
From a challenge of faith to a means of transformation: Did God really say you couldn't eat from any tree in the garden? This seed of doubt planted so long ago bears the fruit of fear on some level every day - the idea that our actions could ruin something beautiful and God might not have control over things. In What Women Fear, acclaimed writer and speaker Angie Smith admits, "Fear is a major part of my testimony," as she talks openly about significant struggles she has experienced. Giving a voice to the problem, she says, "I truly believe every single one of us struggles with some type of fear...."

Healing for the broken hearted
My heart has been broken since my daughter’s diagnosis. I wanted to read this to help me cope with the loss of what could of been. Howard relates his heart on his similar experiences and helps me to know I’m not alone.
Not just about medical trauma and hardship tho…it’s about ALL the other things that tie back together: marriage, God, addiction, and more. Grateful Howard wrote this book and shared his hard.

Beauty in the broken
Andy’s subtitle accurately captures his life experience and how God has redeemed his life’s pain and tragedies and provides a window into the hope that we all have in Christ. God wants to redeem each and every one of our stories, and Andy shows us how pain and suffering aren’t glitches in our stories but key elements that God uses to write them. However, Andy knows all too well how life’s hardships CAN sink us and take us down, and his book is like a raft of hope to anyone drowning in a sea of pain, experiencing depression, or just going through a challenging time. His vulnerability and authenticity add much to his message: he is not an “expert” with a prescription for how to live your life but rather a fellow sufferer who passionately wants to see others’ lives changed through the sharing of his own experience. His losses become others’ gain as he offers hope and encouragement through the words of this book. Highly recommended!

Broken to Brilliance
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this author. This is as genuine a story as it comes. My friend Andy Howard beautifully illustrates his life. This is how God can take what we see as our detriment and use it for our dominance. No matter what you believe in your faith, this book will hit home to your heart.

Hit Home!!
This is an amazing book! The author Andy definitely kept my attention the whole time. I laughed some and cried a lot because it touched my heart and hit home on a few topics I’ve been going through recently. I will for sure be recommending this book to some people and I was already able to get my husband started on this book and he’s almost finished! I loved the part of the book that says God doesn’t wound you but He won’t allow the wound to be wasted either!

Powerful! The world needed this book.
Andy Howard digs deep and shares his experiences in a life of pain, loss, and insecurity, while finding purpose, joy, and faithfulness within the storms of life. If you have lived an enchanted life free from struggles, this book is not for you (honestly, you could still benefit from reading it). But for those of us who have been through any kind of resistance, tragedy, and/or hurdles and felt the inevitable depression, anxiety, and emotional toll it burdens us down with then this will bring hope. It will guide you to the source that will break you free from that bondage and eventually help you find the purpose in that pain.

Sharing a story of persistence and healing
Reading Andy’s book made me understand the thought process and feelings of depression. It lived me to empathy and compassion to others that have dealt with these things.
Great job communicating practical ways that he pushed through this dark time to have the narrative to communicate light to others. Thank you for sharing your heart.

Applicable and relatable
I read this book not knowing exactly what to expect or what I was going to get out of it. The author makes such amazing, relatable points that no matter who we are or what we believe, we all go through something very similar at some time or another. He is incredibly human and real and doesn’t claim to have it all together, but just claims to be completely loved and cherished and accompanied by God through every step of the way! Highly highly recommend
