There is much in our culture that keeps us from staying on a path of religious faith and enlightenment: Creature comforts entice us away from the rigors of a materially simple and charitable life. Debates over pressing issues have lost whatever civil tone they once had. Our nation is simultaneously awash with multimillionaires and homeless children. Now, in particular, minister and psychotherapist Erik Kolbell believes we need a second chance. In this hopeful book, this insightful writer and caregiver looks back through Scripture and finds that it reveals a God of second chances. The Bible is rich with words like re-conciliation, re-demption, re-vival, and re-surrection, and Kolbell eloquently explores one re word in every chapter, each pointing to a well-recognized biblical theme that speaks in its own way to how, when our spirits are weary, God gives us a second chance to deepen our lives of faith. Drawing from a wealth of biblical and contemporary illustrations, Kolbell offers comforting guidance to all spiritual seekers who yearn to find their way back to the sufficiency of God s love and gain the wisdom to know what to respond in return. Includes questions for discussion or reflection.

This is a book about renewal and forgiveness. Kolbell argues in twelve chapters all entitled with a re- word (reconciliation, redemption, revival etc), that we must never despair when we fail in our faith and religious commitment, that God is ever forgiving and that we are always given another chance. Each chapter makes reference to a biblical theme and Kolbell draws also from his wide experience as a minister, retelling relevant stories of friends and acquaintances. The message is that we must strive to achieve perfection and that when we inevitably fail God will always forgive us and we will continue to persevere. This is a book full of rewarding insights into the human condition. It is well worth reading and reflecting on.
