With a conversational flair, his writing is accessible and devotional as it is pastoral. He’s equal parts travel agent and tour guide - pointing out the sights not to miss, then taking the journey with you.

The premise of this book is powerful: "God wants broken people." When we are willing to admit our brokenness to ourselves and others, we begin to grasp profound truths like, "Jesus isn't about behavior modification; he's about heart transformation." This shift opens doors to real change in our lives. Joseph's imprisonment serves as a striking example. For years, he endured his trials with integrity, embodying faithfulness and patience. Yet, you will discover that there was so much more to his journey than mere endurance. Mike's candid and accessible writing style resonates with today's audience. He clearly communicates that God seeks to "stun us and break us with His grace.” By the conclusion of the book, I was left with a deep understanding that God’s plans surpass our comprehension, and we can embrace the truth that “even in our darkest moments, God is working for our ultimate good.”

"Mike writes from a deep sense of understanding the life of Joseph. His wit, humor and experience come through in an easy to read, life-giving understanding of the application of Joseph’s life to ours. There’s a takeaway that God’s grace and presence brings real healing into our brokenness. We are led through a journey that includes looking at our own life and the changes needed to bring life."

Pastor Mike Boswell writes with beautiful compassion and conviction, his words ringing with grace and truth. Each chapter - indeed each paragraph - has a ring of authenticity without hype. As I enter into his experiences and the narratives of blessing and challenge, suffering and divine grace, I find the words of the psalmist reverberating in my heart: “Deep calls to deep…all of your waves and billows overtake me…” Please read this book slowly and welcome the surgical grace of the Holy Spirit to heal wounds, restore hope, and offer wisdom for the journey.
Dr. Charlie Self - Pastor and Professor, Advisor and Author
Author and Pastor Mike Boswell recently penned a compelling read, “Dark Nights and Crazy Dreams.” I’ve often heard that we learn best “just in time.” In other words, we are more open to learn “at the moment” we need direction or counsel or information. Mike addresses the posture that best learns in difficult times. Brokenness & humility become the bridges for converting pain to progress. I only wished I would have had this revelation earlier in my life and ministry. I likely would not have had to repeat so many lessons.
Glenn Burris- Pastor, President of The Foursquare Church (2010-2020)
