Chains Broken by Grace: The life of saint Josephine Bakhita
Chains Broken by Grace:
The Life of Saint Josephine Bakhita
Born into freedom, torn away by violence, and sold into slavery as a child, Josephine Bakhita's life began in unimaginable pain. Kidnapped from her village in Sudan, she endured years of cruelty, humiliation, and suffering that could have hardened her heart forever. Instead, her story became one of the most powerful testimonies of forgiveness, faith, and grace the world has ever known.
Chains Broken by Grace tells the deeply moving true story of a woman who lost everything-her family, her name, her freedom-yet found something greater than suffering itself. Through quiet endurance and a growing trust in God, Bakhita transformed her wounds into wisdom and her suffering into service. From enslaved child to beloved nun, from forgotten captive to canonized saint, her life reveals how grace can break even the strongest chains.
Written in simple, engaging language for modern readers, this book brings Saint Josephine Bakhita's journey to life with warmth, depth, and humanity. It explores her conversion to Christianity, her calling to religious life, her years of humble service, her extraordinary gift of forgiveness, and her lasting legacy as a symbol of hope for the oppressed and forgotten.
This is not just a biography. It is a story of healing. A story of mercy. A story that reminds us that no past is too broken for redemption, and no pain is beyond God's transforming love.
Perfect for readers seeking inspiration, faith-based encouragement, and real-life stories of courage, Chains Broken by Grace invites you to walk alongside a saint who teaches us that true freedom is not found in the absence of suffering, but in love, forgiveness, and unwavering trust in God.
