First of all, I was drawn to the book because Louie wrote it. I have come to really like Louie Giglio after watching him preach at the Passion conferences. I too heard him on a TV program, and he was being interviewed about this book, The Comeback. He shared a story about his struggle with anxiety for a season in his life, and I wanted to read more about it in his book. Louie does share about his season of suffering from anxiety and panic in his book, but The Comeback is about so much more.
On the back cover of the book, it reads, "God is the God of the Comeback, and God is creating a Comeback especially for you". Louie shares how God offers everyone a chance for a "Comeback" no matter how many mistakes he/she has made. I think in today's culture that is a message that people are dying to hear.
Louie's book is a combination of personal testimonies (his included) and examples of biblical characters that have had a "Comeback". Some of his examples from the bible included the stories of Joseph, Peter, Lazarus, Mary and Martha. Louie writes in such a way that helps the reader to understand the details of how these biblical characters had failures and disappointments, but God offered them a chance to have a Comeback. You will be encouraged in your own life that God can offer you a chance to comeback after you have failed.
This book is an easy read and is loaded with helpful, biblical insight. I think anyone would benefit from reading this book as it was a very encouraging read. Thank you BookLook Bloggers for giving me this book.
