The Gospel of Second Chances Author:Lloyd D. Newell We see examples all around us-the politician who loses an election only to come back another year and win; businesses that struggle or fail before reinventing themselves; people with serious health challenges who receive a new lease on life; students who fall short in school and yet become Accomplished contributors to society; prodigal children ... more »who change their lives and begin again. At some time or another, we all need a second chance, particularly when we fumble and falter and make mistakes. The Gospel of Second Chances looks at what makes second chances possible and what we can do to make a second chance successful. With a unique blend of inspiration, practicality, and gospel teaching, author Lloyd D. Newell uses scriptural and contemporary examples to convey the hopeful message that God wants us to believe in second chances-for ourselves and others.
