Richard Mayhue looks at 12 men and women from the Bible, through their story we learn how some failed to win, how some recovered when they looked like losing the fight, and how some fought to victory.We also learn that the only way for the Christian to lose is quit, our epitaphs could more accurately be 'they won by failing to quit!'. There are no easy answers to living the Christian life as we live imperfectly in an imperfect world, this means that we are likely to fail - often. You cannot live long on a victory kick that ignores this basic reality so this book goes beyond mere example to try to teach us moral courage and develop moral character. True Christian education should be based on developing character because what you are is more important than what you know. Character helps more than knowledge in tricky situations.
