Book Description
Once There Were Three Mack W. Hampton "Lord, how could You have let this happen to me?" Have you ever said that when adversity or tragedy confronted you? The answers are often too few to satisfy most of us. Even Job did not receive the reason for his sorrows. But God does offer hope, a sure foundation for trust when it is based on God's Word. At least that's how Mack Hampton came to terms with the actions of a sovereign God. Once There Were Three is a poignant and honest first-person account of one man's struggle with the anguish of losing a loved one. Author Hampton's true story of his daughter's death and its aftermath is "an attempt to describe such a loss and discuss that which only can fill the void-faith in Almighty God." Hampton shares, through reflections interspersed with poetry and letters, some of his most agonizing thoughts as he struggled to see God's perspective on the events. He gives some relevant suggestions for dealing with the trauma of death. Four things from Matthew 6:33 are especially noteworthy: 1. Return to God's Word. 2. Return to God in prayer. 3. Major on majors. (First things first). 4. Return to God in His ways.

Book Description
Inspired by her hugely popular podcast, How To Fail is Elizabeth Day's brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of things going wrong. This is a book for anyone who has ever failed. Which means it's a book for everyone. If I have learned one thing from this shockingly beautiful venture called life, it is this: failure has taught me lessons I would never otherwise have understood. I have evolved more as a result of things going wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. Out of crisis has come clarity, and sometimes even catharsis. Part memoir, part manifesto, and including chapters on dating, work, sport, babies, families, anger and friendship, it is based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. It's a book about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Uplifting, inspiring and rich in stories from Elizabeth's own life, How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us; rather it is how we respond to it that shapes us as individuals. Because learning how to fail is actually learning how to succeed better. And everyone needs a bit of that.
