Broken and Blessed

An Invitation to My Generation

By: Fr. Josh Johnson

Narrated by: Fr. Josh Johnson

Only two 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 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

Encouraging

Heartfelt book with challenges to step out of our current zone and great practical steps to make those changes. I look forward to using it as a group study with our parish young adults but it’s a great book for all adults.

Amazing listen

If you need a refresh in your Catholic Faith or your own retreat..this is your book. Father Josh is an amazing writer with such great wisdom. He makes it easy to understand the many complicated questions we get asked as Catholics. Will listen to it a gain. Thank you Father Josh for being such a bright light....so talented at story telling too.

Great listen!

Great strategies for a closer walk with Jesus and others on the journey. Honest, open, and hope-filled!

This Book Changed My Life

I'm a dullard and this book taught me how to pray with purpose. Fr Josh is so relatable and full of passion that is very inspiring. I pray this book reaches those of us who struggle with our prayer life.

Fabulous Read!!

Don't let the title fool you, "A Invitation to My Generation". This book transcends all generations, for those that want to deepen their relationship with Christ. This young priest presents practical methodology to heighten that intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior in your everyday life. Well done Fr. Josh!!

Love Fr. Josh!

This book didn’t disappoint. It’s refreshing to hear from someone of my generation, God Bless you Fr. Josh.

Both An Invitation And A Challenge

Come April 10, I'll have been catholic for 30 years. Christ is the love of my life and He used Fr. Josh to strengthen our bond and deepen my love for Him. I admire Father's blue collar approach to sharing the faith and challenging those he's trying to reach to learn about it and embrace it. He reads a meditation on the thirst of Jesus on the cross. When I heard it, I went through some Clean-X. lol You will too if you read this book. Plus, you'll come away with a deeper love for Jesus and, hopefully, you'll thirst for Him as He thirsts for us.

Fantastic

Great book with lots of practical stories and tips to grow closer to God and to help and love each other.

Can’t wait to Share this book with others!

I like the honesty and compassion Fr.Josh has expressed in this book.
Great for those who are struggling with the church because it gives meaning to just keep showing up. Highly recommend this book for anyone of all ages!
