OVERVIEW:
Everyone makes mistakes – even in ministry. You forget to set the alarm. You’re late for a meeting. You lock your keys in the church van. Although it’s frustrating, you quickly move on. After all, no one is perfect.
But what about big, life-defining mistakes? What do you do when you don’t just mess up; you totally blow it? Is there hope? Is there help?
I Blew It! is a book that will make you both laugh and cry. Brian Dollar shares his hilarious mistakes but also his tragic failures. It is a candid look at the life of a pastor and leader who has experienced God’s grace and come to grips with his flaws.
I Blew It! provides practical steps to help you move beyond your failures, discover their root causes, rest in God’s grace, and restore wholeness. Don’t hide from your mistakes. Face them head-on, and watch God prosper you through them.
Some of the principles are about ministry philosophy, strategy and communication, but the most important ones - the lessons that will make you laugh and melt your heart - are about the deeper qualities of fear and hope, pride and humility. As you read this book, trust God to change you from the inside out.
