Broken Still Chosen
Finding Hope in Jesus When You Feel Unloved, Unseen, or Forgotten
We all carry some form of brokenness.
For some, it’s physical. For others, it’s emotional, relational, or spiritual. The details may differ—but the ache feels familiar.
In Broken Still Chosen, Rob Roozeboom shares his story of being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at age five and watching his dreams unravel. Wrestling with feelings of isolation and anger, he questioned God’s purpose for his life. But his story didn’t end in defeat.
Through honest storytelling and biblical truth, this book reminds you of something easy to forget in dark seasons:
- God still chooses you.
- He still sees you.
- He still has purpose for your life.
Available in hardcover, paperback, eBook, and audiobook—plus a free five-day devotional—Broken Still Chosen meets you in your struggle and points you toward hope.
Already read the book? Thank you! Help us spread the word about the hope found in Jesus: buy the book for a friend, share your copy with someone else, and leave an Amazon review!
