Synopsis

Have you ever wanted to just turn the page and begin again, to have a fresh start and not be mired in the mistakes of the past? God gives us that opportunity! In this enlightening and encouraging book, Greg Laurie focuses on the parable of the prodigal son as he takes a fresh look at why God gives us second chances. Sections include "The God of Forgiveness," "The Making of a Prodigal," "You Can Have a Second Chance," and "Making Good on Your Second Chance." This is a great book for new believers who are trying to grasp the concept of divine forgiveness and for anyone who might have some gaps in their knowledge of God's redeeming love.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Turn around and come back...

Maybe you’ve been avoiding God. Maybe some pain has been driving you away. Maybe you’re not sure you can trust Him. Or maybe you’ve just gotten lazy. Bit by bit you’ve strayed—and now you've blown it, and you wonder if God even wants you anymore.

In this encouraging book, Greg Laurie shines the light on an often-forgotten facet of God's character: He is the God of the second chance. He waits eagerly for your return. Your heart may be hard, your life may be shattered, but God is waiting for you with open arms.

He will welcome you home.

About the Author:

Greg Laurie is senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, which he started as a Bible study of 30 people.

Greg is also the featured speaker of Harvest Ministry's nationally syndicated radio program, A New Beginning, host of the TV program Harvest: Greg Laurie, and speaker of the international Harvest Crusades.

Greg has authored several books, including The Upside Down Church (a Gold Medallion Award winner), The God of the Second Chance, a devotional for couples called Marriage Connections, and both The New Believer's Bible and The Seeker's Bible. Greg is married and makes his home in southern California.
