Just when you think you finally understand what life is all about-God confronts you. He shows you all the games you've been playing with yourself and with Him. You're cut to the heart-empty and broken inside. But only when you come face-to-face with your spiritual brokenness before God are you ready to be molded by His hands.In Dancing with Broken Bones, David Swartz uses the biblical account of David-a king who was brought down to the mortal size of an ordinary, fallen man-to hold a mirror to our own lives. After he was confronted by God, David reckoned with his broken and contrite heart. composing Psalm 51 as a lament of spiritual hope."David chose the picture of broken bones to describe the pain a person experiences when God is dealing with the human heart," writes Swartz, "Dancing with broken bones is a rare and beautiful art form in the spiritual realm."Swartz challenges us to take our sin as seriously as David took his, thus breaking our hearts when we realize what we've done to God Only then are we ripe and ready to allow God to repair the emptiness and brokenness within us. Then we can truly live out our spiritual adventure, not limping but dancing with broken bones.ISBN:0891091483
