After meeting Jesus, a woman with a past, a string of ex-husbands, and a heavy burden of shame left it all beside a well and ran to her city, full of hope and a message of good news. What if we could all leave our shame and past behind like that and live with a new purpose, full of joy?
We can! God's Word is full of broken people who were used mightily by His power. From David, to Peter, to Mary Magdalene, God redeems, restores, and reconciles. He does the same for us, no matter where we have been.
In this book, we'll look at how God's mercy works in our lives to transform us. We'll see what real repentance entails and how God's grace means we don't have to drown in shame. Like Paul, we can forget what is behind us and press forward. We'll look at the lives of people in the Bible who were imperfect but perfectly redeemed. And we'll walk through practical steps to moving forward in fellowship with Christ so that we can fulfill His calling in our lives.
