In The Comeback,
Louie Giglio explored how to have a comeback from setbacks from life. We have
all fallen down and faced hardships and encountered disappointments. In this
book, he walks readers how God still has great plans for our lives and we can
have a comeback! Throughout the book, he shared stories from his life, other
people lives, and Biblical stories. Some of the stories included: Noah, Moses, Joseph,
Jesus, Peter, and much more.
One of Louie Giglio’s stories was about a Passion conference
in 2003. There was a massive storm and the venue was outside. They prayed that
that the rain and storm would stop. It continued while they prayed and the
storm didn’t stop until 5 p.m. the day of the conference. They still had
twenty-three thousand people show up to worship God. A couple thousands of
people didn’t even of making the event and they ended up running short of their
financial goal – a hundred thousand dollars short. The following Saturday, they
attended a wedding and some guy collected money around the room and they were
able to make up the money exactly. They also suffered another fall and they
needed another seventy-five thousand dollars to make their operating expenses. A
friend from another city randomly called him and found a check that was
supposed to arrive three weeks ago and it just resurfaced. It amazing covered
the whole amount! Their prayers were answered!
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is
looking for a comeback and they are ready to live again. This book is for
people who have faced a dead marriage and relationship, suffering financially
hardship, overworked and underpaid at your job, unhappy with how your life is
going, and struggling with an addiction. You can have a comeback story from
whatever life has thrown you. I especially love how real Louie Giglio was in
looking at Lazarus story and how we all wonder the question as to why did God
make him sick in the first place. And the answer scriptures tells us in John
11:4 that it is for His glory. Louie reminded us that Lazarus still eventually
died and the greatest comeback of our lives will be when we are raised up with
Christ and Christ’s power freed us from death and our sins. This is an amazing
book about finding the strength and relying on God and being ready for the
greatest comeback that Jesus wants to give you!
