El 16 de julio de 1945, en el desierto de Nuevo México, se detonaba en secreto la primera bomba atómica. Impactado por el poder destructivo de su creación, J.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the iconic figures of the 20th century, a brilliant physicist who led the effort to build the atomic bomb but later confronted the moral consequences of scientific progress. When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s.

You were taught that power looks like control. That strength looks suspiciously masculine. Broken Power gently—and irrevocably—undoes those assumptions. Written for the woman who loves Christ but feels unseen by His story, this book reveals a pattern hidden in plain sight: God has always moved power through relationship—not dominance. Through the body—not despite it. Through women—not around them. This is not a book about becoming louder, harder, or more “empowered” in the modern sense. It’s about remembering what you already carry.
