The Ravi Zacharias Scandal - How I'm Dealing With It Jeremy E James

Like many people all over the globe, I was mortified to hear of the scandal associated with the late Ravi Zacharias. His ministry, RZIM (Ravi Zacharias International Ministries) has been an active force in spreading the Gospel all around the world, making Apologetics it's forefront. It's tagline, "Helping the Believer Think and the Thinker Believe" was an accurate depiction of what it put out. How do we handle it when our heroes fall? While Ravi is on the mind of many in the Evangelical circle, seeing heroes, mentors, and friends fail didn't start with Mr. Zacharias, nor will it end there. Failure, whether moral, ethical, covenantal, or any other form is something that the Church must learn to do deal with as we move forward through this life. There is much discussion about forgiveness, and rightfully so, but we need to find ways to navigate through the pain and confusion of the sins of others. While we do go to the Bible as the authoritative source of how to deal with these issues, I decided to publish a couple of my writings that may help the reader think. However, the more beneficial part are some self-reflective journaling type questions in the back of the book that will help the reader process through pain and disappointment.
