If you get discouraged by your spiritual failures, you're not alone. In fact, you're in pretty good company. From the life and death of Samson to Peter's denial of Jesus, the Bible is filled with people who wanted to serve God but frequently failed. And yet God still worked through them for his purposes and glory. Through God's power, their points of weakness even became their greatest strengths. J. I. Packer, author of the bestselling Knowing God, offers his pastoral wisdom on the stories of eight imperfect people in the Bible. Packer shows us how their struggles and triumphs relate to our own experiences, and how God works despite our mistakes. Each chapter also includes Bible study questions for personal reflection or group discussion, prayer suggestions, and journaling ideas to help you process and apply the material.

Let this book help you discover that God's vision for your life may be far bigger than what you can see right now. Though we may be far from perfect, remember that in God's eyes we are never beyond hope.
