​​In Stories of the Broken, Tom Berninger takes readers on a poignant journey through lives marked by pain, struggle, and hope. With over three decades of experience as a pastor, husband, and father, Berninger’s compassionate voice weaves together stories that explore the human experience in its rawest form. Each narrative offers a window into the lives of those who have been shattered by tragedy, yet find themselves still longing for healing and redemption.

These stories are more than just tales—they are glimpses into the supernatural, where the divine intersects with the ordinary, where pain is met with grace, and where brokenness makes way for restoration. Some stories are uplifting, offering hope for those in despair, while others are heartbreaking, reminding us of the deep wounds we carry and the silent battles we fight.

Inspired by a song that Berninger heard years ago—“I want to spend my life, mending broken people, removing pain”—this book is a heartfelt call to those who, like him, feel called to bring healing to a hurting world. Whether through a whispered prayer or a kind word, the stories within these pages challenge us to look beyond the surface and offer our hands to those who need it most.

If just one person is moved to help mend a broken life, Berninger believes this book will have fulfilled its purpose. Stories of the Broken is not just a collection of stories; it is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond the reach of grace, and no life is too broken to be made whole again.

For anyone who has ever felt broken, or known someone who has, this book is for you.
