About this ebook
How do you handle personal mistakes? Do you allow them to paralyze your personal success and spiritual growth? Or, do you allow them to induce fear and doubt in your relationship with Christ? The Bible contains numerous accounts of individuals who failed in their relationship with Him. Yet, this did not prevent them from doing great things for Him.
God is a God of the Comeback. In the third book of the Restoration & Recovery Series, we will continue to examine the failures and ultimate successes of biblical characters. If they overcame, then, the Christian today can come out of any personal pit and enter into their God-given purpose. Their examples provide hope and strength for the Christian today. Book 3 of 4.

Introduction
The books of Psalms and Proverbs present two phenomenal statements regarding the believer’s life. The first is found in Psalms 34:19, Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
The second is found in Proverbs 24:16, For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Each of these statements reveal the troubles that believers will face and how it is possible for unforeseen mistakes and failures will come. However, the strength of the second admonition is that the righteous will get up after times of failure and defeat. The Restoration and Recovery Series was developed to bring hope, comfort, and peace to Christians during and after troublesome times in their Christan walk.
