It s a story of vision and vulnerability, of being yourself and being betrayed, of crashing and burning and emerging the better for it. Matthew CorkSouthern California. Palm trees and white teeth.

A memoir-guidebook, Broken for Good is the portrait of a leader in his darkest hour. Showing us life past the breaking point, Cork and Kemp dare us to live truly. To be vulnerable but free. To take a risk, give ourselves away, and find God at the end of our rope.There are lots of ministry leadership books about trends and technologies and best practices.
