CHRIS RAPPAZINI

No one wakes up and says, "I think Ill make a mess of my life." But many people find themselves in places that feel beyond repair. If youve made decisions that have left you and others hurtthat have brought you to a place that feels dark or desperateyoure not alone. Professor and pastor Chris Rappazini looks to real life biblical characters whove made messes of their lives and shows how God delights in forgiveness and redemption.

Do you need God to do something that feels impossible? Freedom from an addiction or the haunting consequences of bad choices? A second chance at marriage, family, or a career? Maybe you love someone whose devastating path of poor decisions is inflicting heartache upon heartache.

Through sharing the personal journey hes been on with his brotherwho is in the process of moving forward after messing upRappazini uncovers the true heart of the Father and the dramatic ends He goes to bring restoration.

What happens when we honestly face our mess and seek God? Can beauty, love, or hope follow? Failure and regret can create humility and deepen our character. Those who seem permanently wrecked can experience joy, freedom, and a newfound dream. InMoving Forward After Messing Up, Rappazini takes us beyond despair to biblically based forgiveness and a faithful future.
