When Worship Breaks Things: An Alabaster Legacy

By Jamie Y. Wharton

Worship isn't always gentle. Sometimes it shatters what we thought was whole.

In When Worship Breaks Things, Jamie Y. Wharton draws inspiration from the biblical story of the woman who broke her alabaster jar at Jesus' feet-an act of radical love, costly obedience, and unapologetic devotion. This book unpacks what it means to worship with everything: our vulnerability, our pain, our obedience, and our legacy.

Blending personal testimony, biblical insight, and gentle reflection, Wharton invites readers-especially women of faith-into a deeper kind of worship. One that doesn't just sound beautiful, but moves heaven, disrupts patterns, and heals from the inside out. It's a sacred call to let what's poured out become the very thing that breaks strongholds and builds spiritual legacy.

With warmth, clarity, and poetic truth, When Worship Breaks Things helps readers:

• Embrace costly obedience in a world that celebrates convenience
• See brokenness as a pathway to intimacy with God
• Reimagine legacy-not as fame, but as eternal impact
• Discover worship as a daily, embodied offering

Whether you're walking through transition, healing from past wounds, or simply longing for more, this book is a holy companion. It reminds us that true worship often leaves something broken-but what's birthed in its place is sacred, lasting, and beautiful.
