This message is for those who have suffered through some disappointing and disastrous moral failure, for those who are presently struggling through a hopeless, losing situation. Also, this book is for those who love someone who is suffering through the horrible aftermath of failure and who desperately seek a way to bring that dear one back to a place of hope, where they'll desire to "live" again. There is real pain and real consequences of failure that must be faced and conquered, but for some, there is sometimes no motivation to try. Giving up is so much easier. My book addresses the main characters involved in a failing crisis: the person who falls, the person(s) who receive injury or offense from that person's fall, and the folks who desire to help the failing person, but who do not know how. This book is ideal for pastors, counselors, concerned family, and...failures. If you failed, I won't promise you "success" over failure, but, rather, I would like to help you simply believe in a new beginning for yourself. Let me share God's desire and plan to restore you to a place where you truly desire to begin again. John Howarton is an ordained Christian minister who is an elder and teacher in his local church and teaches in a Christian high school. John is married and has three adult children. Before he suffered his "failure" in mid-life, John was a missionary for thirteen-years behind the Iron Curtain. After making a comeback from the depths of defeat and despair, he returned to studies and received a BA degree in history and English (with a minor degree in Russian).
