The Return of Broken Disciple

In "The Return of Broken Disciples," Dr. Avitus Leonard poignantly addresses a pressing challenge faced by Christians today: the restoration of those who have experienced deep emotional, relational, and moral wounds. This book serves as both a scholarly exploration and a theological reflection, drawing on biblical teachings and contemporary insights to navigate the complexities of brokenness in our modern society. With a compassionate heart, Dr. Leonard highlights the transformative power of God's love and grace, reminding readers that God does not call the qualified; He qualifies the called.

Through an integration of scriptural references, psychological understandings, and personal narratives, Dr. Leonard emphasizes the importance of community in the healing process. He acknowledges that many individuals carry invisible scars of abuse, abandonment, and rejection, often choosing to hide from the community, much like Adam and Eve did after their transgression (Genesis 3:8). This book challenges the church to move beyond judgment and indifference, encouraging believers to gently restore those who have stumbled, echoing the message of Galatians 6:1: “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.”

"The Return of Broken Disciples" is a comprehensive work that draws from various categories, including pastoral care, counselling, community development, and spiritual formation. It provides hope and direction for those seeking to navigate the delicate journey of healing and reintegration into the community of faith. Whether you are a church leader, a counselor, a mentor, or someone who has experienced brokenness yourself, this book will inspire and equip you to foster a culture of acceptance, restoration, and love within the church. Dr. Leonard's thoughtful approach offers a roadmap for transforming brokenness into a testimony of strength, resilience, and divine purpose.
