Are you failing to succeed?
None of us like to fail. And yet, we all do -- repeatedly. Fortunately, in God?s economy failure
isn't final. In fact, it's often the very thing God uses to make us truly successful in His eyes.
This study, built around some of the best Discipleship Journal articles on the topic of failure, will
help you face your deficiencies and defeats head-on and grow in Christlike character. By drawing
on articles, questions, quotes, Scripture, and related exercises, you'll learn:
God's standards
for failure and success;
How to avoid playing the "blame game";
How to keep failure
from paralyzing you;
How to persevere in spite of failure;
How to handle regret;
Steps to take when you?ve really blown it, and more.
Discipleship Journal has been published for almost twenty years. Because of the staff's desire
to help people develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, they compiled a list of its most
popular topics and articles. From these came toe new Discipleship Journal Bible studies, which
provide practical tools for help in understanding the Scriptures and applying them to daily life and
ministry. Discipleship Journal has won the Evangelical Press Association Award of Excellence
three times over the last decade.
