Junkyard Wisdom Rebuilt

Generosity in a World of Broken Parts

By: Roy Goble, D. R. Jacobsen, John Ortberg - foreword

Narrated by: Steve Bagadanov, Roy Goble

A Raw, Honest, and Disruptive Call to Generosity That Goes Far Beyond Charity

Roy Goble doesn’t want your spare change. He wants your attention—and maybe even your comfort. In this provocative and heartfelt book, Goble challenges the conventional view of generosity as simply giving money, advice, or wisdom. Instead, he invites listeners into a deeper, riskier, and far more transformative kind of giving: relational generosity.

This isn’t the kind of book that wraps hard truths in soft language. With the gritty honesty of someone who’s spent time in spiritual and literal junkyards, Roy flips the script on what it means to help others. He makes one thing crystal clear: we don’t give from a place of superiority—we give from a place of shared brokenness.

In the words of the foreword, “Sometimes it’s good for our hearts to be troubled.” And this book will trouble you—in all the right ways. Goble exposes the blind spots of affluence, confronts our entitlement, and reminds us that we’re all equally in need of grace, redemption, and community.

Perfect for listeners who:

• Are tired of feel-good charity models that don’t lead to real change
• Want to move from transactional giving to transformational relationships
• Are ready to be challenged—and changed—by the gospel’s call to love and justice

You’ll walk away from this book with:

• A renewed understanding of what it means to be generous
• A deep appreciation for the power of shared brokenness
• A bold invitation to join a movement that tears down walls and builds true community

Caution: This book may cause discomfort, soul-searching, and unexpected friendships.
