How to Fix a Broken Record: Thoughts on Vinyl Records, Awkward Relationships, and Learning to Be Myself

Allow God to heal the broken record of your soul, so you can step into your calling, speak up for what’s right, and dance your own story of God’s grace.

What does the soundtrack in your head sound like? The hurtful words of others and the failures of your past often determine what record you play most often in your mind. Those painful repetitions can keep us from speaking up, standing up for what’s right, being loved, pursuing our dreams, and growing closer to God.

Spoken word poet Amena Brown’s “broken records” once played messages telling her she wasn’t worthy of love. After years of replaying those destructive rhythms, How to Fix a Broken Record chronicles her journey of healing as she allows the music of God’s love to play on repeat instead.

From bad dates to marriage lessons at Waffle House, from learning to love her hair to embracing unexpected seasons of life, and from discovering the power of saying no to the freedom of saying yes, Amena offers real-life stories your soul can relate to.

Along the way, you’ll discover how to:

• Recognize the negative messages that play on repeat in your mind
• Replace them with the truth that you are a beloved child of God
• Find new joy in the beautiful music of your life
