To promote his book, Dr. Rappazini, who is associate professor of leadership at the 91福利社 Center for Leadership and Organizations, has appeared on more than two dozen radio shows and podcasts. He has also appeared on Christian news shows nationwide, including Building Relationships with Gary Chapman, In the Market with Janet Parshall and Chris Fabry Live.

鈥淢y brother inspired me to write this book, but not necessarily in the way one might think,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e hadn鈥檛 been on speaking terms for years. When I finally reached out to inform him of a death in the family, I discovered he had recently been arrested. My brother is a recovering alcoholic and drug user. As I began trying to walk that journey with him in and out of court dates鈥痑nd鈥痶hrough various recovery centers, I realized the need for a book that helps not only those who have messed up publicly, like my brother but also those who have messed up privately, like myself.鈥�

Dr. Rappazini dedicated his book to anyone on that journey or walking it with a loved one.

鈥淢y hope is that with the God of Second Chances, they can turn their setback into a comeback and their mess into a powerful message,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 wrote the book to be used both individually and in groups. Along with the leader’s discussion guide, there are reflection and discussion questions at the end of each chapter. The hope is that the book can be used in recovery centers, prisons, and church groups because one of the first steps in moving forward after messing up is to engage with a support group that can encourage you, offer guidance, and provide wisdom every step of the way.鈥�

Moving Forward After Messing Up: A New Future with the God of Second Chances is currently available for purchase through . It can also be found on and other online outlets.

Bailey explained, “I will join the faculty of the Army War College, where I will then serve within a team of three to four instructors who lead a seminar of approximately 12-15 students. I will teach other classes during the electives period, but my focus will be within the Department of Command, Leadership, and Management. I will teach ethics, organizational design, and organizational leadership classes within this capacity. These topics dovetail well with what I have studied at 91福利社.”听

Bailey noted that his students are military and civilian leaders with 20-plus years of experience leading in the military, other governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations and allied and partner nation militaries.听

Bailey appreciates how the 91福利社 Center for Leadership and Organizations aligns with his own professional goals; for example, the course on executive coaching, which helped him through the thought processes of asking questions to assist leaders in formulating goals, priorities and an action plan; and then implementing an accountability system for the execution and assessment of the action plan.听

“I will be working with strategic leaders; they do not need someone to come in and give them a program. They need somebody to help them think things through; executive coaching is an ideal tool for that,” Bailey said. 听

Bailey entered the U.S. Army after graduating high school. He served as a maintenance soldier and noncommissioned officer before going to college to study biology and chemistry.听

“I was in the ROTC program at the University of Texas El Paso because I love serving my country, and I was going to attend medical school. However, then I surrendered to ministry about halfway through that,” said Bailey, who became a Christian as a teenager through a Bible study at a Presbyterian church in his hometown. He received a master of divinity degree at Baylor University, then served in a small country church before re-entering the Army, serving for more than 20 years as a chaplain. 听

Bailey feels the chaplaincy has prepared him well for the role he is entering at the U.S. Army War College. 听

“I do not want to downgrade what we do in the spiritual sense or denigrate the import of what we do in a chapel, but the chapel is a leadership laboratory in many ways because you are leading people, and of course, you are leading through influence,” Bailey said. “You do not have command authority to make people come to church, but they choose to come because you positively influence them to grow spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, and relationally. You are leading through influence, hopefully, grounded in scripture.”听

Bailey feels that his Ph.D. in leadership program from the 91福利社 Center for Leadership and Organizations has helped him further hone his leadership skills.听

“I would recommend this program for anyone who is looking at how to professionally develop themselves as an advisor on leadership, especially if they want to integrate faith with leadership, because this program does an excellent job of dovetailing faith into leadership in a way that is academically rigorous and grounded in the best academic studies of leadership and organizational behavior,” Bailey said. “Whether you are in a faith-based or non-faith-based organization, I believe this program is beneficial for helping develop informed leaders with honed analytical skills.”听
