UNbroken – Study Guide: A True Story of Hope in Starting Over
About this eBook
Each of us has a story—the question is, how does your story end? What have you learned and how can your experience end with victory and joy, rather than fear or defeat?
This study guide/workbook is based on and meant to accompany the original book UNbroken: A True Story of Hope in Starting Over, by Wendy Baisley Roache. It lines up with the book chapter by chapter and was developed for both individual and group settings.

hearing God’s voice
finding peace in the midst of a storm
recognizing truth vs. the lies of the enemy
moving from fear into faith
forgiving yourself and those who have wronged you
choosing to live in trust and gratitude
biblical methods for rebuilding your life into something beautiful
What women’s ministries and book clubs are saying about UNbroken:
“Reading UNbroken in our women’s small group ministry was a life-changing experience for us... This story is a true testimony of what God can do when we allow Him to take all the shattered pieces of our heart and of our life, and allow Him to make something beautiful out of the brokenness.”
Linda Hernandez, Co-Pastor/ Women’s Ministry Director
Rosamond Family Faith Center Church
“UNbroken built stronger ties between our small group of women while strengthening our trust in God. The difficult topics one never brings up were presented in love and grace. Inner fears of abuse or reflections of past tragic experiences are turned into opportunities to heal and grow in His love.”
Sharee Price
Women’s Book Club
