"Steve Macchia is a gift to the church and has mentored and taught me much in the ways of Jesus. Broken and Whole is more than a healing balm; it makes you long for more of Jesus."

Ann Voskamp, author of The Broken Way

"Steve Macchia's books are increasingly among the go-to resources for Christian leaders who are looking to deepen their spiritual vitality. We all need what Steve has to say. After more than twenty years of friendship with Steve, I can personally attest to his spiritual wisdom for leaders, needed today more than ever. His transparency, his wisdom forged in the valleys, his insights on brokenness and his biblical lessons will provoke you in the best sense of the word."

Barry Corey, president, Biola University

"Thank you for writing this important piece for leaders."

Eugene Peterson, author of A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

"It takes audacity and humility to confess your own frailty and folly. It takes grace and wisdom to mine these things for enduring life lessons. Stephen brings all that to this book. He is a man who listens deeply to his own life and who flourishes because of, not in spite of, weakness and brokenness. And he writes so well, so honestly and so practically about these things that I feel a fresh rush of hope that my own weakness and brokenness is the path to wholeness."

Mark Buchanan, author of Your Church Is Too Safe

"In Broken and Whole Stephen Macchia reminds us that the most important kingdom contribution any of us can make with our one and only life is who we are becoming in Jesus—that everything flows out of that. Stephen brilliantly connects 'the most excellent way' described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 to life and leadership in an honest, transparent and practical way that will strengthen and guard your soul."

Santiago "Jimmy" Mellado, president and CEO, Compassion International

"Wrought from the trenches of actual leadership stories and immersed in biblical teaching, Broken and Whole gently pries itself into the gritty places of the soul and invites God to meet us. . . . Steve Macchia?s consistent candor and authenticity coupled with gentle guidance—and his killer questions!—will take you there. Steve's final words express the best gift this book can offer—a path by which to live, love and lead in the name of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen."

Mindy Caliguire, founder and president, Soul Care, author of STIR: Spiritual Transformation in Relationships

"The greatest commandment for leaders isn't any different than the greatest commandment for anyone. Love God. Love people. Stephen has given us a vision of Christian leadership that is more patient than hurried, more Jesus-promoting than self-promoting and more generous than self-serving. His candor and humble self-revelation is inviting and grace-giving. I highly recommend Broken and Whole."

Alan Fadling, executive director, The Leadership Institute, author of An UnhurriedLife

"In Broken and Whole, Steve Macchia honestly, openly and humbly invites us into his own stories of brokenness and into the wonder of the grace of God. Surely, as Paul teaches, God's power is manifested in our weakness. Steve understands this well and offers Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 13 as a roadmap for leaders seeking forgiveness, wholeness and strength in the vocations to which they've been called. This is a book that will help many. It has helped me."

Chris Hall, president, Renovaré

"I've just finished reading my friend Steve Macchia's new book, Broken and Whole. It combines Steve's long experience with leaders and organizations, wise practices, Scripture, and very practical applications for every leader. Don't miss the chapter on rudeness, a neglected teaching in many contexts. And pay attention to all the end of chapter application areas—this is where you will grow the most and redeem the investment in this new work."
