The Broken Crown

What happens when a king fails—and another rises? What does God do with broken leadership, wounded hearts, and tangled legacies? The Broken Crown is a devotional journey through the lives of Saul and David—two kings anointed by God, yet shaped by drastically different hearts. One grasped for power and lost it. The other fell in sin but returned in repentance. Through their stories, we’re invited to see our own struggles with obedience, identity, timing, and trust. Author Debbie Strauch guides readers through Scripture-rich reflections, heartfelt prayers, and journal prompts designed to meet you where you are—in your wilderness, your victories, or your regrets. And in every chapter, the journey moves forward—to the promised King from David’s line: Jesus Christ. This is more than a story of two men. It’s a story of how God uses the broken to build His Kingdom. Whether you're longing for healing, waiting for direction, or hungry for deeper intimacy with God, The Broken Crown will strengthen your faith and renew your hope.
