Shattered China: The Journey from Broken to Golden

Book excerpt: "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." - 2 Corinthians 4:7 NIVIn Japan, when a piece of pottery is damaged, an art form called "Kintsugi" is used to restore the broken object's cracks with gold. This is because it is believed that if the imperfections are embraced, the flaws will now be seen as a unique piece of the object's history - causing it to become stronger and even more beautiful than ever before.In this same way, China Sinclair Dailey believes in restoring community one person at a time because she knows that mistakes are not only a part of being human, but also a part of life - which includes both the good and the bad. This is why, in "Shattered China," she has chosen to share a glimpse of the journey that moved her broken to golden.
