past regrets. Dave and Jon Ferguson take us on a journey filled
with story and Scripture that guides the reader from a pain-filled
past into a positive and redemptive future. This is a life-changing
book you need to read and will want to give to others!"
--Andy Stanley, senior pastor, North Point Ministries "Dave and Jon
give us the tools we need to find a fresh start! I'm thankful for
their wisdom and easy-to-follow steps to freedom."
--Mark Batterson, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle
Maker; lead pastor of National Community Church "Dave and Jon
Ferguson's book Starting Over will guide you through a healthy,
God-inspired process of recognizing, releasing, and redeeming your
regrets. Rather than staying in the trenches of the past, it's time
to start over and allow God to do a new work in you."
--Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church; author of
#Struggles--Following Jesus in a Selfie-Centered World "The
greatest need in human life is a Do-Over--here it is. I cannot
imagine anybody who would not benefit from this book."
--John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Church; author of All the
Places to Go "We all have regrets. Thankfully, we are reminded by
Dave and Jon Ferguson that everything is going to be okay. This
book is filled with stories and practical steps to learn how to be
okay and overcome regret. It is an inspiring and compelling message
of hope and freedom. Let Starting Over be the launching pad for a
new season of regret-free living and leading!"
--Brad Lomenick, former president of Catalyst; author of The
Catalyst Leader and H3 Leadership "One of the greatest stories in
the Gospels is when John summoned as many who had the courage to
the Jordan River. There they could confess their sins and start
life all over again. John wanted the whole nation to start over
because the one to whom he pointed, Jesus, was ushering in a brand
new world. Starting Over contains the pastoral accounts of one
person after another who, like those who entered the Jordan River
with John, have learned that God's grace forgives, restores, and
ushers one person after another into a life without regrets. What a
marvelous book about God's abundant, forgiving, new-life-making
love."
--Scot McKnight, Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament,
Northern Seminary "Dave and Jon Ferguson have built one of the most
dynamic and influential churches in America through their passion
for telling others about the love of Jesus. Their Spirit-filled
energy and vision flows through their book Starting Over, with the
life-changing message of redemption and grace."
--Nicky Gumbel, Holy Trinity Brompton "Regrets are part of the
human condition, but how we process them is key to how we will live
beyond them. In Starting Over, the Ferguson brothers provide
insight and tools to help us live beyond regret and into the new
opportunities for life and flourishing that God has for each of
us."
--Debra Hirsch, author of Redeeming Sex and Untamed "I'm not
perfect. I've experienced regrets. Starting Over provides practical
next steps to neither suppress nor forget but rather redeem and
release the regrets I've experienced in my life. Unless you're
perfect, and none of us are, I think you'll appreciate this
opportunity for a new start as well."
--Tony Morgan, founder and chief strategic officer, The Unstuck
Group "Starting Over drives home the message that God has an
unending promise of redemption for us. We live in a fallen world
and all deal with regrets in this life. This incredibly powerful
book helps us walk through the process of recognizing, releasing,
and redeeming our regrets, through repentance and forgiveness, so
we can give glory to God and live in the freedom he desires for
each one of us. Our staff plans to take hold of this tool, and our
congregation will experience its impact. I know you will too."
--Joby Martin, lead pastor, The Church of Eleven22
