Description
Failure is one of those things at which all of us excel. And yet, we seldom talk about this subject of our “expertise.” Success is the celebrity attracting much attention. But Failure is the outcast living in the closet most of the time—except when he emerges from the closets of others.
Six More Chances takes another look at failure–whether personal, professional, or spiritual. The book compellingly argues that setbacks in life shouldn’t set us back. They are stepping-stones. In stepping on the stones we move upward and forward.
If, as King Solomon says, “a godly person rises again after falling seven times,” then the mathematical implication is that after we first fall, we have “six more chances” left! Building upon this concept, the book Six More Chances shows why and how to succeed through failure.
Whenever we experience a major failure, we must not despair, give up, or stay down. Our one fall is not the end of us. For God is not just a God of “second chances,” but also the God of “six more chances.” Rightly handled, the “mist of failure” will clear and the sunshine of Success will appear.
“Six More Chances reproduces briefly some of the lessons that have been learned in the fiery furnace of failure. They are meant to encourage, guide, uplift, instruct, and place hope ever before you that God is bigger than your failures, and that He can help you back on the road to Success, no matter how deeply you fall.”—Postscript
