Have You Ever Fallen Short? Honesty and Transparency Leads to Victory

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. Who are we? Are our decisions fueled by faith or fear? Do we run and hide when the chips do not fall in our favor? How do the consequences of life affect us? Do we deny and pretend as if we’ve never made mistakes or do we acknowledge and face them head on? In Have You Ever Fallen Short? – Honesty And Transparency Leads To Victory (Part 1), author Dominique Balque candidly unveils her ‘wilderness’ – the shame and embarrassment she experienced through failure. It was through this “hell-way” that she not only realized she wasn’t close to perfect but, most importantly, she finally came to terms with the fact that she was actually created to “need” God, by design. In Have You Ever Fallen Short? You’ll learn: How to Jump over the Hurdles of Fear; How Truth is always the road we must travel; How Peace is Acceptance; How Trusting is not Easy but Necessary; How to Locate Your Heart; How to Exhale from Past Mistakes; How Brokenness is the Process towards Winning not Losing. Have You Ever Fallen Short? is more than inspirational, it’s powerful. It boldly empathizes and realistically connects to youth, young adults and adults alike softening even the hardest of hearts; it gives hope to the discouraged and tenderly walks one out of defeat and straight into victory. FOREWORD: In Alarm Response—How to Repair and Guard Your Heart (part 2), author Dominique Balque continues her excellent treatment of how to deal with the heart of Man, which she began in her earlier book Have You Ever Fallen Short—Honesty and Transparency Leads to Victory (part 1), which dealt with overcoming failure. In part 2 she shows how one can destroy hardness in one’s own heart and how to protect the heart from “weapons of mass destruction” from the mouths of others without raising an impenetrable wall around one’s own heart. This is accomplished by instant and continuing forgiveness, and by knowing of one’s matchless value in the eyes of Christ Jesus. I was particularly fascinated by the term “weapons of mass construction” which are conceived in the heart and launched by the mouth, the identical launching pad for the “weapons of mass destruction.” The author also has a great deal of insight into how to apply the Word of God (Bible) to give a correct response to a spiritual attack from the mouths of others. In following her recommended actions, tense situations are de-fused and God’s peace is poured over the troubled hearts. ~ Jack Tuls, President - Remote Area Ministries.
