THE ROAD BACK TO GRACE is a book for anyone who feels defeated and broken because of their past. Feelings of guilt, self-doubt and condemnation from others, keeps us from healing from our past. For some, it boils down to the need to humbly seek forgiveness for our wrongs, and know that God will renew our life with hope, joy and peace. That is the Road Back To Grace THE ROAD BACK TO GRACE guides counselors in compassionate intervention for those who need healing from their past. THE ROAD BACK TO GRACE shares how drinking, drugs, divorce or just a damaged testimony can keep Christians from feeling that they are accepted by God and others. When these believers turn back to God, He promises to fully restore and heal them THE ROAD BACK TO GRACE includes Seven Study Guides for indivudal study, for church study groups, ParaChurch groups, or Pregnancy Resource Center Staff on how to help others find healing from their past. The Seven Study Guides related to six biblical case studies of individuals who found healing from their past (restoration). 1- Zacchaeus Honored The Right Invitation ( Zacchaeus sought the Lord, and found the Lord was seeking Him) 2-David Had The Right Heart (David was humble, repentant, a man after God's own heart) 3-Peter Heard The Right Message ("Feed my sheep") 4-The Jewish Woman Held The Right Course ("Go and sin no more") 5-Paul Heralded The Right Truth ("But for the grace of God there go I") 6-Isarel Hoped in The Right God (Through the prophet Joel,God promised to restore Israel from the locust destruction if they turned back to Him) 7-The Prodigal Son Headed Back On The Right Road (He went home, and was welcomed by his father)

Full Restoration is not just another book about divorce. It is unique in that it appeals to the church to see men differently who have sinned by divorce in their past. It is a book to set men free who are hurting, post-confession and repentance, to see that they can be used in ministry again. Full Restoration challenges the traditional interpretation of 1 Timothy 3: 2 suggesting that a man who has sinned by divorce in his past is not qualified for ministry. While this goes against the voice and reason of all of Scripture, it also violates the intention and grammar of 1 Timothy 3: 2. The pastoral aspirant is to be one who is a "one woman kind of man." It emphasizes this man's present character, not his past sin. There is not a place in the Bible that says men who have sinned in their past lose their giftedness and even with confession and repentance cannot be effective in ministry again. God's forgiveness and restoration is complete. Even Jesus told Peter after his denial with cursing, "Feed my sheep" May this book help counselors, pastors and church leaders to help men, truly called of God, back to effective places of ministry. May the church see its need to discontinue seeing these precious forgiven and gifted saints as second class citizens...but restored persons who will feed Jesus' sheep
