The Lazarus Effect: Experiencing a Personal Resurrection
()
About this ebook
In biology, the Lazarus Effect refers to species and other organisms that appeared in one time period and then disappeared; only to reappear at a later period of time. Biologists were amazed at how a species could be alive and well at a certain time and then seemingly go extinct. Then, this "extinct" species somehow comes back to life and reproduces.
Biologists used the term Lazarus Effect based upon the New Testament account of Jesus miraculously raising His friend Lazarus from the dead. In the fourth book of the Restoration & Recovery Series, we will continue to examine the failures and ultimate successes of biblical characters. Learn how you can experience a Lazarus Effect in your personal life. Book 4 of 4.

Introduction
The books of Psalms and Proverbs present two phenomenal statements regarding the believer’s life. The first is found in Psalms 34:19, Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
The second is found in Proverbs 24:16, For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Each of these statements reveal the troubles that believers will face and how it is possible for unforeseen mistakes and failures will come. However, the strength of the second admonition is that the righteous will get up after times of failure and defeat. The Restoration and Recovery Series was developed to bring hope, comfort, and peace to Christians during and after troublesome times in their
