Following the Fallen: Serving Leaders Who Have Fallen Into Sin - What Can We Learn - & How Does Restoration Happen?

We are all imperfect. We all bring brokenness with us. Our failures multiply and grow more toxic when people dare to follow us.Following the Fallen admits the truth that we all have let ourselves down, let others down, or have ourselves been betrayed or hurt deeply by another. This book acknowledges not only the ways in which we've become victims of other people's crimes, but also examines where we are guilty of causing hurt. Rather than wallowing in the pain that swirls around us like a hurricane, we can encounter real healing within the storm. Through real-life case studies, biblical stories that parallel our experience-while also lending insight, and detailed examinations of psychological and sociological pain, we'll go far beyond vice. We'll be transformed by virtue. True goodness and perfection are only found in God. He designed all things so that when they are functioning properly they lead to the flourishing of all. This book aims to help you discover how to forgive what's past, live better in the present, and actively imagine his way forward toward a prosperous future.
