BROKEN BY BEAUTY
By
Joy Farrington
Authentic Media. 160 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 1 780 780 573

I was pleased to have been sent this book to read. It is autobiographical in style and tells the story of one broken woman allowing God to use her as an instrument of change in the lives of other broken people.

Joy Farrington has a passion for people, purity and justice and, as I read, I was made acutely aware of my lack of passion. In this book you will travel with the author from the drug dens of Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent, to the red-light districts of Thailand and Brazil. You will meet sex workers, sex tourists, addicts, and trafficked and trapped people. And in all these individuals, Farrington looks to see the remnants of God’s image in them, beautiful and creative. She loves them and prays for God to free them.
