Clay Jar Cracked

With its hybrid format of part devotional and part autobiography, Clay Jar, Cracked provides the authentic account of a woman’s walk through one of the most traumatic relational stories ever told. Cortney Donelson writes a powerful testimony about her personal marriage crisis and how God revealed Himself and became the lead role in securing an ending that defies cultural expectations and statistics. Clay Jar, Cracked shares a specific marriage story, but the thought-provoking messages throughout apply to any crisis one might experience.

Clay Jar Cracked is the emotional and honest story of how one woman pushed logic, expectations, and her raging anger aside in order to lean on the only one who could save her marriage. Perhaps you will see yourself in her story. Perhaps you will see a friend. Clay Jar Cracked was written to help guide you and those you love through some of life's most painful and traumatic experiences. Those who have faced financial ruin, the loss of a child, a daunting diagnosis, addiction, loss of faith, or a spouse's secret and double life are like fragile jars made of clay. Each of these experiences leaves a crack in that jar. Some are wider and deeper than others, but each weakens the whole. As these cracks occur, how do we keep from shattering? Clay Jar Cracked provides bold, thoughtful, and compelling answers to these questions and more. It also suggests an answer to the most intriguing question of all: Could even the biggest cracks be worth it?

Everyone, at some time, learns how life can change in a moment: with the crossing of the center line on a highway or the reading of a blood test; a telephone's knell in the still of night or a spouse's hesitation before the unspeakable is spoken. Occasionally, out of the turmoil emerges a work of exceptional wisdom and beauty. Gifts from the Broken Jar is one such work. Psychotherapist PJ Long's life-altering moment came when the bolt of a terrified horse left her brain-injured. She became a stranger to herself, unable to drive a car, prepare a meal, or carry on a conversation. But when PJ began to write, pen and ink acted as needle and thread, mending her torn mind and stitching together a new life. Lessons she had gleaned over years of helping others returned to guide her. And as PJ wrote, she gained profound insight into the resilience of the spirit and the unexpected joys of everyday life.
