DALLAS, Texas, April 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Mistakes - whether marital, financial, vocational or moral - are inevitable. Sometimes they are minor, while other times they are completely life-changing. But, in his new book, Second Chance, Second Act: Turning Your Messes into Successes (WaterBrook Press, April 2007), pastor and best-selling author Dr. Robert Jeffress proves that failure doesn't have to be fatal. On the contrary, he shows readers how God can transform their biggest mistakes into new beginnings.

As the senior pastor of a 10,000-member church and the host of the nationally televised and broadcasted Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress understands the unending regrets and doubts that accompany personal failures. And so, in Second Chance, Second Act, he boldly confronts these fears and questions that plague multitudes of believers:
• Is God willing to forgive my failure?
• Even if I'm forgiven of my mistake, will I still spend the rest of my life paying for it?
• If God planned every detail of my life before I was born, did His plan include the mistake I made?
• Can I really ever totally recover from my mistake?

"I have good news and bad news," writes Jeffress. "The bad news is that you can't rewrite history. You can't really start over because life has no Rewind button. But, the good news is that your mistake can actually be a steppingstone to greater success in life."

With solid biblical insights, trustworthy wisdom and practical strategies, Robert Jeffress helps readers work through the guilt, suffering and fear of their mess ups. He shares numerous examples, from the Bible and recent history, demonstrating why the greatest failure doesn’t have to be the grand finale. And by offering five practical, biblical strategies of hope for those who have "blown it," Dr. Jeffress teaches readers how to use their mistakes as a prelude to a fresh start in life—and a phenomenal second act!
