title: Rewriting Your Broken Story: The Power of an Eternal Perspective
author:  Kenneth Boa 
description: "Ken Boa is one of my favorite authors, and this book epitomizes why. It's deep, it's practical, it's theological, it's emotionally stirring, and it helped me see life in a way that God longs for me to see it so I can live it in the way he wants me to live it. Highly recommended!"--Chip Ingram, senior pastor, Venture Christian Church, teaching pastor, Living on the Edge<br /><br />"Offering captivating illustrations from an incredible array of angles has long been one of Ken Boa's great gifts. This book is a fascinating journey through history, pop culture, biography, philosophy and the arts. But why take that journey? Because ultimately, we all must wrestle with the fundamental questions of life: Who are we? Why are we here? What's gone wrong? How can we be made whole? This book is a journey through those questions, and Ken a most helpful guide."--John Stonestreet, president, The Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview<br /><br />"No one I know has the ability to stretch the mind and encourage the heart quite like Ken Boa. His presentation in this book will help all of us to write a different page in the diaries of our present by seeing the last page from God's perspective. This book will be high on my recommended reading list for the men I meet with and seek to mentor God-ward."--Mark L. Bailey, president, Dallas Theological Seminary<br /><br />"Soren Kierkegaard was right when he said that we have to define life backwards and then live it forwards. It is the arrival that defines the reason for the departure. It is right thinking about life that gives freedom its map. And as Ken Boa observes in this book, 'an eternal perspective will inform us of something more (and better) than what we can see.' Boa has provided a helpful and hopeful map to guide us through life's journey. I know his words will encourage and challenge you."--Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker

  had spent the last hour tweaking my resume and cover letter,
  despite the fact that I’d already sunk hours into doing it previously. I
  couldn’t help myself;  this job meant everything to me. It was my third
  interview attempt and I knew that if I didn’t get chosen now, I likely
  never would. Still, I had to stop overanalyzing every word I’d written
  and try to relax so I could get a good night’s rest before tomorrow.
  I decided to flip on one of the J eeli documentaries and get ready
  for bed. The documentaries were pretty much the only television I
  watched these days. The vapid, shallow world of Hollywood
  television was of no interest to me. Almost all my time now was
  spent researching the J eelis in any way I could.
