The Success of Failure: The Discipleship of Jesus - Paperback

by Rubén I. Chacón (Author)

The very first lesson every disciple should experience in following the Lord is failure.

Most books on Christian life focus on teaching you how to grow, develop, and achieve a victorious life. However, these resources fail to show the importance of failing.

Rubén I. Chacón, pastor of the Assemblies of God, Chile, makes the case that failure is fundamental to living a victorious life. Without it, it is impossible to grow or win.

By focusing on what you can learn from failure, you'll be able to:

- experience the Spirit dwelling inside of you;
- live above your human emotions;
- rediscover the discipleship of Jesus and appreciate its most important aspects.

The author observes that our Christian life does not include any stage without the Holy Spirit, as was the case with the disciples. He notes that the disciples' failures were due to not having the Holy Spirit dwelling in them and seeks to explain why we, too, have failed.

Failure should be followed by fighting, striving, acting, obeying ... but not by waiting. Learn how to leverage failure to advance your Christian practice with the lessons in this book.
