We come to the last of our 7 Broken Men and I’m going to take a somewhat more serious tone with this one. Recent blog posts in this series have been presented with a lighter touch as we’ve noted the way our broken men have been used by God for the greater good. And while some of them did […]

So far (if you’ve been following along) we’ve discovered that some of the greatest movements of Christianity – Calvinism, Pentecostalism, the Great Century of missions, the Jesus Revolution, and the Australian Baptist church – were all launched by broken men. Welcome to the sixth of our 7 Broken Men, at the raffish Spanish courtier, Iñigo […]

In this series of posts we’ve been looking at “broken men” – fragile souls, charlatans, jerks and screw-ups who were used by God nonetheless to bring great hope and healing to the world. So far we’ve looked at men who were affected by overbearing fathers, childhood sexual assault, alcohol abuse, gambling addictions, drug use, and […]

My 7 Broken Men series continues. Check out the other entries in the blog section of this site to see the previous inductees into my hall of shame. Our fourth entry is nothing if not the most flamboyant of our seven, the Scottish-born Australian evangelist, Alexander Dowie. If God can use a character as colorful as Alexander […]

This is the third in my series 7 Broken Men, looking at how God has worked through even the most deeply flawed individuals throughout history. You can read the first two here and here. John Calvin was born Jean Cauvin in 1509 in Noyon, France. His father Gérard Cauvin was severe. And controlling. He was a registrar […]

If you liked Eric Metaxas’ 2013 book 7 Men, you’re probably not gonna care for my current series, 7 Broken Men, about the fragile and unlikely people God has used to glorify himself. You can find my first post in the series here. But if you are up for it, put on your old Larry Norman or […]

7 Broken Men: John McKaeg

In 2013, Eric Metaxas published a collection of biographical sketches titled 7 Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness. It was a big hit. I saw it in airport bookstores everywhere. I’m sure there’s great benefit in reading about the moral fiber and spiritual greatness of men like George Washington, William Wilberforce, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, […]
