Summary:

Few people would consider failure to be a gift from God. If you are trying to engergize and grow a ministry, however, embracing the lessons and, yess, the "gifts" of failure may be the best way to maintain a dynamic and encouraging place for people to seek the heart of God. Through personal stories of his own missteps and mistakes as the co-founder of Urban Village Church - As well as those of others working to plant and grow ministries - Christian Coon shows how failure is a springboard to new experiences and, hopefully, a deeper connection to God and what it means to be a leader in the church. -- page [4] of cover.
