The Failure Of Success

The Story Of Jonah

by Bill Crowder English

About this item

Jonah is not the principal character of his own book—God is!

Much has been published about the principles of success. Success and failure, however, may be defined in different ways by different people. Is there an absolute standard for success and failure? Do we win or do we lose when our accomplishments cost more than we can afford? In this booklet, Bill Crowder brings these issues into focus by examining the life of the Old Testament prophet Jonah—one man who personally modeled and experienced “the failure of success.”
