About this listen

What happens when an evangelical hardliner falls in love with an intriguing woman from halfway around the world who challenges everything he believes?

Justin Friedman radically turns from drug dealer to Jesus and joins a fundamentalist movement in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Swiss teacher Sophie Schmid is searching for meaning after a tragic loss and sets out on an adventure. When Justin and Sophie meet, the sparks fly—and their views about God clash. Justin’s faith leaves no room for doubt, and Sophie’s faith cannot tolerate absolutes. The two embark on an epic search for what it really means to follow Jesus.

Their budding love is challenged by their differing views and by Justin’s missionary zeal. He moves to the mission field in India only to find disillusion and betrayal where he least expects it. In the meantime, Sophie joins a contemplative community in the Swiss mountains to find peace and a faith that carries her. But they cannot forget the week that changed their lives.

A Broken Hallelujah takes the listener on an adventurous spiritual journey across America, Europe, and Asia in search for answers to life’s deepest questions about faith, compassion, and the unifying love of God.

This contemporary Christian novel with an international setting is both spiritual journey and an adventurous romance story. But beyond that it is a challenge to discover a faith that can withstand disillusionment, deconstruction, and spiritual abuse. It is an invitation to follow Jesus with authenticity and humility and, in doing so, discover a love of God that transcends any doctrine.

Critic reviews

"A Broken Hallelujah is an engaging tale of fiction that tells a true story—a story of discovering the rich and beautiful faith in Christ that is so often obscured by the garish caricature of Christianity found in American fundamentalism. Judith Forgoston has given us a hopeful novel that will bring light and life to its readers. I thoroughly enjoyed this book." (Brian Zahnd, pastor of Word of Life Church, St. Joseph, Missouri, and author of When Everything’s on Fire)

"A story worth discovering!" (Randall Arthur, best-selling author of Wisdom Hunter)
