Groeschel Craig - Home run : learn Gods game plan for life and leadership

Do you know someone who seems like an overnight success story? Whatever they touch turns to gold. Everything seems to come easily for them.

Then there are the rest of us.

Success doesnt come easily for us. It seems we are striking out more than we are getting on base. We long for a better life. To make a difference. But days turn into weeks, then months, then years. And the dreams we once had seem to fade into the distance.

We wonder about ourselves. The questions we ask turn personal. What am I doing wrong?

If youve ever felt discouraged, worn out, or let down, Ive got great news for you. You are holding the right book in your hand.

What you are about to read could be the best and most helpful book you have read in a long time. Because while a rare group of people seem to live with instant success and significance, the vast majority of us dont.

Keep this in mind: just because you dont have the rags-to-riches story, doesnt mean God doesnt have an amazing plan for your life. But I also believe He wants to do something in you before He does more through you.

And thats where Kevin Myers comes in.

This book is long overdue. The first time I heard Kevins story, I told him, You have to put your story into a book!

Being modest, he shrugged off my suggestion and tried to change the subject.

I was too passionate to be polite and talked over him, Listen to me! You dont understand. People need to hear this story. Pastors need it. Business leaders need it. Parents need it. Teenagers need it. Then I told him again as plainly as I could, You have to put your story into a book.

Im a big believer in the message of this book for several reasons. First, Kevin is not an overnight success story. In fact, his story is quite the opposite. After starting a church, his congregation didnt grow to more than 200 people in the first seven years. In the church world, that means his church would not likely ever see over 200 people in attendance. But Kevin was persistent and faithful to Gods call. Then something amazing happened. Not only did his church surpass 200, but it went on to reach 700, 1,800, 5,000, 10,000, 15,000and it is still growing! After years of living what seemed to be a dead-end dream, now Kevin leads one of the largest churches in America.

His story is both inspirational and bottom-shelf practical. Kevin has a unique ability to simultaneously encourage and instruct. He will show you four very specific and helpful keys to succeeding at what matters most.

Finally, I am a Kevin Myers fan. He is humble, teachable, wise, and full of integrity. He combines a deep love for God and a rich understanding of leadership that will walk you through a step-by-step journey of becoming all God wants you to be.

Get ready to round the bases.

With Gods help and through this book, its time to hit a home run!
