We all love a good "comeback" story! We love to watch the phoenixes of our world rise back up out of the ashes of failure and soar to victory. We often applaud their strength and envy their success. But what about the "brought-back" stories? The ones where the central figure fails horribly and then gets mercifully picked back up? How do we respond to those stories and what might we learn from them? Let's consider someone who seems to test the limits of how far someone can fall in their faith and how far God can restore them.
