In her book, Stained Glass Hearts, Patsy Clairmont compares people to stained glass windows. She offers insights into how God restores and redeems what seems broken beyond repair. Through the use of personal experience, art and music, she show beauty created through pain and brokenness.
I have always loved Patsy Clairmont, her wit and wisdom, her transparency and tranquility. Her stories rock of God's desire and ability to restore and redeem. While this book differed from others of hers, I liked it. At the end of each chapter is "The Art Gallery" which provides things to research at the library or online. I enjoyed that she took me out of the book and caused me to explore the worlds of art and music in order to bring a complete understanding of the point she was making.
As I am one of many broken people in the process of being restored, I was able to connect with most of the insights she provides in this book. While some of this is not new insight, it is presented in a way that I believe will connect to broken people, especially women.
This book is an easy read, which most times, broken people need. I recommend it for those who are in the process of being restored as well as for those who need a starting place. I am glad I have a Stained Glass Heart.
