Publisher's Synopsis
Pastor Gregory S. Baker delivers a poignant and thought-provoking examination of the depth and struggles of a fallen Christian and the effort needed to help restore them back to the loving embrace of Jesus Christ. There has been much written on winning the lost to Christ, but very little focuses on those who have actually fallen away from Christ... ...and how to get them back. Restoring a Fallen Christian fills a gaping hole in Christian literature. The principles come straight from Scripture to provide insightful, practical, and thorough instructions to help bring someone back to Jesus Christ. It is a painful truth, but the Bible records stories of several men of God who stumbled in their faith and convictions. Sometimes, they didn't return. Thankfully, over time, many of them were brought back into the fold; but time has made it clear that fallen Christians are not unique to that period in history. We face similar stories of tragedy today, but the effort in bringing them back have become a hurdle for the church and a challenge for every believer. Pastor Baker presents a host of questions faced by many who have struggled through the anger, pain, emptiness, and confusion that is often experienced when a Christian walks away from God. In many cases, these fallen Christians can and want to come back. Often, though, we don't know where to start or how to proceed in helping them be restored-in fact, most of the time we don't even know the questions to ask. That's where Baker triumphs-this is his gift. His experience as a pastor and counselor allow him to speak on a subject that many others may shy away from. People fall away for many reasons, and he tackles most of them to provide the widest range of tools available to the Restorer. This book is a must-have for every Christian. If you don't need it now, there may come a time when you do.
