Failure: what Jesus said about sin, mistakes and messing up by Emma Ineson - the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent book for 2023.
Emma Ineson is Bishop to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. In 2016 she served as an Honorary Chaplain to the Queen.
Justin Welby describes her new book as a "superb book on failure… humorous, realistic and absolutely not judgmental." He says, "The Bible faces the reality of 'failed' lives again and again… Failure is human, universal and inevitable. The question is what we do with it and, even more importantly, what God does with it in partnership with us."
Ineson’s book is a wise, compassionate, encouraging, and nuanced exploration of the subject of failure. Each chapter of this Lenten book concludes with thought provoking questions for discussion.
Spend time this Lent exploring the place of imperfection.
Readers may also like to read Ineson’s previous book published in 2019: Ambition: what Jesus said about power, success and counting stuff. Both books are available in the Bishop Sutton Library.
