Broken for Us

Broken for Us: Encountering the Power of His Word, a book authored by Rev. Fr. Alexander Ejiofor, is a bold response to the tradition of the Church, which has always seen the Word of God as inspired Words for human salvation. The Fathers of the Second Vatican Council, when writing about the place of the Word of God in the life of Christians, stated: "All the preaching of the Church must be nourished and regulated by Sacred Scripture. For in the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven meets His children with great love and speaks with them" (Dei Verbum, no. 21). In this book, the author in a skill full manner has been able to achieve renewed enthusiasm for all who seek the Word of God to find answers to present-day problems. This book makes it abundantly clear that the Word of God has the power to transform the lives of the faithful. Anyone who wants simple Scriptural exegesis should have this book and recommend it to friends and loved ones. Broken for Us is a must-read and should be a constant companion for attempts at resolving daily individual life challenges. The author has provided a compelling argument for the inevitability of the place of the Sacred Scripture for the salvation of the people of God. I recommend it for priests, consecrated persons, lay faithful, Catholics and non-Catholics who seek to find the harmonious relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Fr. Alexander Ejiofor has broken the Word of God so that we can encounter the redemptive power of God.
