I purchased this book yesterday afternoon and finished it this morning. I could not put it down! Brad Henry has an amazing ability to share his love for Jesus! We all live through bad situations and are quick to turn to our Father for help in those times. Brad tells his story and shares how we need a relationship with our Father ALL the time. Just because we feel we may be being punished for something because we aren't getting exactly what we prayed for, doesn't mean He doesn't love us, and in fact he may have something better in store for us than what we prayed for. I'm not what you call a regular reader. In fact I think I may have a touch of ADD as I get very sleepy whenever I try to read a book. Not this one! Thank you Brad for writing this book and sharing your story!

5.0 out of 5 starsHow many people are willing to tell the world about their failures?
ByJanieon May 26, 2014
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Thank God for a few honest people in the world. It was so comforting reading a book about someone who seemed to hit brick walls every direction he took his whole life, even as a follower of Christ! I needed the stories he told, and I especially needed the ending, which I won't go in to for obvious reasons. But suffice to say, everything about this book from start to finish, is REAL. My brother died of brain cancer after struggling with a very sick child and struggling to make his business succeed. Just about the time he was finally beginning to have financial success, he died. But he was a committed believer, and I am certain that to the Lord, he was a complete success, because he never quit trusting in God no matter how hard things were. And the impact that his unshakeable faith had on others was huge. Thank you, Brad Henry, for this painfully yet at the same time delightfully honest book.

5.0 out of 5 starsMoving, Uproarious and Eminently Readable
ByJim Rayon January 27, 2012
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Just about any chapter in "Failing" could be a book in itself as Brad takes the reader through some of the strangest misfortunes imaginable. Some of them are profoundly heartbreaking, others are totally hilarious (at least in retrospect ... to the reader.) It's incredible that so much adversity could attach to one individual, and yet you find yourself relating, page after page. This is an autobiography that won't take you long to read, because if you're like me you won't be able to put it down. "Unexpected Road to Success" is the subtitle ... but that's understating this amazing story by a long shot.

Brad, All I can say is, "Thank You"...... Thank you for blessing my life with the writings of your life story in your new book, "Failing Doesn't Mean You're a Failure". The same Power of the Holy Spirit that allowed you to compose this book, allowed me to sit still for over 3 hours on my couch in front of my fireplace on this cold, February Sunday a read your book "cover to cover". AMAZING!!! The only other time in my life that I have read a book in one day was when I read Josh Hamilton's story "Beyond Belief". You touched me on every page, and each chapter uniquely paralleled my life and journey in some "special" way that ONLY GOD knows! Keep looking UP and count on me to share your book with people everywhere I go. Blessings and Love, Lee

5.0 out of 5 starsRight Book At the Right Time
ByLorena Gayle Chapmanon March 20, 2014

I gave this book as a gift to a business man who has been struggling with a failing business due to the economic downturn. He said it was the most helpful and inspiring book he has read, besides the Bible. :) He said the author's style of writing really made for a good read

.5 out of 5 starsA life manual worth readingDecember 1, 2012
Format: Paperback
This book is a must-read for any individuals who have faced challenges or expect to face new ones, and want to benefit from Brad Henry's enlightened perspectives of how to best manage what life throws at us. I found his book easy to read yet with profound insights, enjoying well phrased comments such as, "When we face tough trials in life, we can become either better or bitter." How simple. How true! Brad Henry's real-life adventures and misadventures are well covered in the delightful, sometimes sad and always moving narrative, including his ups and downs in business, his life's passions (flying and Ironman competitions), facing personal and family obstacles and more. His message is based on his own salvation, when one fateful night in 1992 he became a child of God. However, regardless of your own personal theological view, from atheist to faithful, this book will provide you with insights, inspiration, direction, plans and processes to allow you to "keep on keeping on" (his expression).

At the Post Office in Huntersville, NC, Brad walked up to me in line and handed me this book. He told his son that the Lord told him to give the book to someone and that was me. In was a very emotional season in my life. I had Breast Cancer Surgery the month before and on the same day of the surgery, my husband passed away that evening. We had reconnected after many years, but God is still amazing. The emotional pull in Brad's story gave me courage to go just a little further. I stopped thinking on what could have been and focused on right now. Now because of the connection with Brad and so many more, we are Prayer Warriors, and walking a little closer to God. Because the one we serve has never failed, and He helps us clean up from our failures. Brad donated 10 books to the Book Club at the church I attend in Harrisburg, NC.
I have passed my book on to a Cancer Patient, because some times we think we fail when illness is upon us.... but God is a Healer, read about it in Failing Does'nt Mean You're A Failure.

After reading Brad's book Failing Doesn't Mean you're a failure and how many things in his life corresponded with my own, I realize that our God only wants what is best for his "kids". We learn through trial and error as well as prayer and searching God's Word for His truths. I would encourage anyone to read this book as well as sign up for Brad's daily devotionals. I cannot tell you how much they have helped me and usually it's always something that I needed to hear that very day. Our God is always on time and Our God is Awesome!

5.0 out of 5 starsSatan is busier than ever, but God offers hope!
June 25, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition
This book will remind you that Satan is alive, well and working overtime in our world today. Brad Henry has been gracious enough to share his experience of being in Satan's grip and how God has helped bring him out of the depths of darkness. This book gives all lost people encouragement, hope and let's them know that they are not alone. God is now using Brad to write daily devotions that reach thousands of people including me. Read this book and you will be forever changed!
Thank you Brad for sharing your personal story!

I read this book in one sitting, didn't want to put it down. A great reminder that there is a real spiritual battle going on everyday in all our lives and the consequences that Brad faced by his disobedience are no different than any of ours, just different scenarios. Great to share with non-believers as well!
