About this ebook

Only 2 in 10 Americans under 30 believe attending a church is important or worthwhile. Well over half of young adults raised in the Church have dropped out with many having a strong anti-Church stance, many even believing the Church does more harm than good.Fr. Josh Johnson was one of these people. In Broken and Blessed he tackles the harsh realities facing the Church in the 21st century.

With charity and courage he speaks to his own generation of Catholic “Millennials,” who often feel their needs and concerns are not being addressed by the Church, or who simply do not believe the Catholic Faith has any relevance to their lives. Using his own experiences, both as a former struggling young Catholic and as a priest, Fr. Josh offers an inspiring witness of how he came to know God, rather than just knowing about him—and presents practical ways for us to truly know God as well.

Broken and Blessed:

Addresses head-on Millennials’ most pressing issues with the Catholic Faith

Presents powerful and inspiring stories from Fr. Josh’s own faith journey

Shows how one can truly encounter Jesus in a personal way

Offers practical insights on how to overcome habitual sins

Discusses the nature of prayer, as well as the challenges to prayer and how to overcome them

Touches on a lot of spiritual topics people struggle with and gives practical ways to help those struggles either subside or disappear. It's well-written and I plan to implement these practices in my own spiritual life.
