Standing Tall After Falling Short

Standing Tall After Falling Short is a tightly written book of biblical and practical counsel for anyone who has made a number of bad choices and is now suffering the consequences. Emily Chase has been a counselor for decades, and it shows–true life stories of broken people populate nearly every page.

Chase also cleverly weaves one case study narrative throughout the entire book that keeps the reader hooked (even if a biblically savvy reader can see where she’s going with it). One of the best chapters is all about rebuilding trust with others. Chase never pretends that it’ll be easy, but she continually offers hope for those who want to grow. Recommended.
