Failure: unemployment, a failed relationship, an unfulfilled dream or goal. Then come the emotions of shame, guilt, and lack of self-worth. Over time, we might stop thinking we’ve failed and start believing that we are failures. The truth is, if we’re willing to venture anything at all, we are going to fail. Throughout the book, Dr. Gregory Jantz, bestselling author and mental health expert, emphasizes that:

• failure is part of being human
• the key to success lies in learning from our mistakes

So, the question is, "How will we view our failures?"-and "What will we do with them?" Unpack how misinterpreting our failures can keep us stuck, then gain powerful strategies for reframing our mistakes for growth and success. Ultimately, we can rest in the assurance that failure is never final... because God’s love for us is forever.

How to Overcome Roadblocks, Get Unstuck, and Become Resilient
Why Failure Is Never Final explores the path of putting our failures in perspective-and becoming better because of them. Dr. Gregory Jantz reminds us that God’s definition of success has more to do with who we are than what we do. Misinterpreting failures can impose obstacles to our dreams, but the good news is that we can take preemptive action. Dr. Jantz discusses several strategies for reframing our blunders, including:

• resolving to move forward, not backwards
• coming clean about our mistakes
• forgiving ourselves
• avoiding self-sabotaging behavior

The ultimate antidote to failure, Jantz concludes, is the rich gift of God’s grace. Failure is never final because God’s love for us is forever.
