Restoring the Fallen: Creating Safe Spaces for Those Who Fail

by Mark Stibbe, Cherith Stibbe

Restoring the Fallen tells Mark and Cherith Stibbe’s painful story of fall, repentance and restoration. Rooted throughout in the moving tale of Peter’s restoration in John 21, Mark and Cherith offer hope and healing to those who have fallen. They use the picture of kintsugi - the Japanese art of repairing broken cups using golden lacquer – to reveal how we are all cracked pots, but our loving Father is the Divine Potter, and in his hands, our fractures become the fissures through which his glory shines!

Powerful and insightful

I've just spent a pleasant Saturday afternoon snuggled on the sofa with my two labradors reading this book. It wasn't the book I planned to read next after just finishing the current book I was reading. I'm glad I did choose this from my "want to read " list as its given me a lot think about and reflect on. I couldn't put it down and devoured it in one sitting.

Great book to read..

This book was a great book and it helped me to understand the biblical principle of the fallen being restored to a healthy place. That the church of today can help in this process to allow those who have fallen to come back to a healthy relationship with God and also in a place where those in church can help within restoration. It was easy to read and relatable to my own experience of church.

Every Christian should read this and especially leaders. It is so important that we don't put our leaders on pedestals where they can fall from a great height, but instead to pray for and support them, and develop a good theology of restoration. Hats off to Mark Stibbe for his courage and honesty.
