Product Description
Twenty Godly Men and Women WhoIn this book twenty Godly men and women who experienced failure tell their story!

Has anyone told you the price of success?

It is failure!

Failure - who wants to talk about it? No one. In our success driven environment, we seldom realize that success is a process - a processthat journeys right through the heart of failure.

All success is born out of the pangs of failure. And that bring existential issues to the surface:
"Who really loves me for me, and not for what I can do for them?"
"Is there someone who knows me, with whom I'm totally transparent?"
"If I missed a church service, would anyone notice and call me?"
Failure: The Womb of Success is refreshing. It drips with honest confessions and condor.
So, put down your guard, relax, and enjoy a most candid journeythrough this exploration of our humanity. The purpose of this book is to encourage you to stay in the race and not give up.
You may fail, but you are not a failure. Events do not define you.

Failure is not final; it's only an event! ... Read more

encouraging.funny too.
I met Samuel Chand after he spoke at a conference in Los Angeles, and bought his book right off the table.My wife and I had been struggling to plant a church in South Central Los Angeles, and at the time were stinging from several painful setbacks... could we have done anything to avert those disasters?20-20 hindsight always accuses "Yes!".Chand's book helped us deal with our failure, pick up the pieces (those available to pick up at least) and continue on.Best thing about this book: it is not mere cheerleading or positive-thinking, but honest, bold approach to understanding and redeeming failure so that "all things [really do] work for the good of those who are called according to His purpose".Don't read it when things are going well.Read it when you are angry, despairing, or ready to give up.

No One Wants to Talk About It!
The Story Behind the Book

It was the first Monday in August 1985. Mondays can either be real good or real bad for pastors depending on the day before Monday-Sunday! Sunday is the day the self-worth and even thecalling of the pastor are tested to its limits. An experienced pastor hascounseled wisely, "Never resign on a Monday!" On this particularMonday, I walked up to a few pastor friends who were gathered in theparking lot of the Conference center. The annual denominational conferencewas about to begin. The typical Monday morning pastor's conversation was infull bloom. "So, how many did you have in church yesterday?" was theoperating question. Now, we all know that that question is usuallyasked by pastors who had a "good" Sunday, and this is the way they can letothers know how well they did. Actually, it is a very self-servingquestion. It is not about the questioned; it is about the questioner! The respondent, who usually had a "bad" Sunday responds by shuffling hisfeet, clearing his throat, and saying something like, "We've had a lot ofsickness in our area and seems like so many people were out on vacation. .." This one-upmanship in the parking lot that Monday morning got thebest of me. So, as a junior member of the clergy, I timidly asked, "Do anyof you have low Sundays? Do you ever get discouraged? Do you ever feel likegiving up? Do you ever wonder if it's worth it?" As soon as the words leftmy mouth, I knew I had said the wrong thing! Why deal with reality whendenial serves us so well?The book in your hands was born on that Mondaymorning in that parking lot. The accounts in the book finally answer thequestions that were asked in the parking lot and remind us that failure isthe womb of success. As you read this book, you will laugh and you willweep. You will shake your head in agreement as well as amazement. Failure is not a popular subject. Go to your nearest bookstore and look forthe shelf marked FAILURE; that shelf does not exist! Everyone wants to talkabout success (it sells), but we all know we fail at more things than wesucceed at. So let's talk about it! This book will get you started.
