The Life of a Broken Rib Trilogy

THEY SMILE ON SUNDAY. THEY CRUMBLE ON MONDAY.

Have you tried everything? More Bible study. More fasting. More church services. More giving. But inside, you’re exhausted. Nothing seems to work, at least not for long. More than a memoir, The Fractured Life of a BROKEN RIB is a profound, grace-filled case study in legalism, gospel distortion, and the healing rest found in Jesus Christ. More than 20 years in the making, Paulette J. Jones transforms her personal story of trauma and religious performance into a gripping examination of what happens when faith becomes a transaction.

With unflinching honesty and theological insight, she exposes how “try harder” religion does not produce holiness—it fractures souls. But grace heals what performance cannot fix. For the bone-tired believer who feels like she's failing no matter how hard she tries, your healing begins when the religious bandages come off. Stop striving. Start breathing.
