Praise for
Reset
In every generation God raises up voices that speak with boldness and clarity the freedom found only in Jesus. Nick Hall is one of those voices. Reset stirred my own heart again to believe God for an awakening in our nation. When a generation can see Jesus for who he truly is, their lives will be reset and never the same.
B ANNING L IEBSCHER , founder and pastor of Jesus Culture and author of Rooted: The Hidden Places Where God Develops You
Nick Hall has prayed big prayers and seen God answer in big ways. His story and the stories presented in Reset will give you the faith to truly believe Jesus changes everything. You are one prayer away from a reset life.
M ARK B ATTERSON , New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker and lead pastor of National Community Church
I love the message Nick shares in this book because we all have times we need to resetto commit ourselves to the only One who can change us from the inside out. So whether youve been saved for one day or have had a relationship with Jesus for decades, Reset will give you the courage to go even further into intimacy with our King.
K ARI J OBE, singer/songwriter

God is using Nick Hall to call our generation to reset our lives in every way. His vision is large, his passion is contagious, and his energy is endless. Nick Hall believes that now is the time for a reset in America. I am believing God with him!
D R. R ONNIE F LOYD , president of the Southern Baptist Convention and senior pastor at Cross Church
I remember thinking the first time I played a PULSE college event with Nick Hall, You cant miss that he is passionate about reaching this generation with the message of Jesus Christ. I have no doubt Reset will leave an undeniable mark for the gospel.
T OBY M AC, seven-time Grammy winner
Nick Hall has powerfully put into words an invitation to a journey that is fun to read, overwhelmingly convicting, and accessible. The only thing more persuasive than the simple message of this book is Nick himself. He is a leader of deep conviction, Spirit-filled wisdom, an all-in attitude toward Jesus, and a lovable personaall of this is captured vividly in the pages of Reset.
Y ORK M OORE , national evangelist for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA
Jesus is with you in the pain, the struggle, and the unbearable, holding you close and offering you a way out. In Nick Halls timely book, Reset, youll find the courage to crawl out of despair and into the arms of Jesus, and youll find practical advice to live daily in his grace.
M ICHAEL W . S MITH , singer/songwriter
Welcome to the land of beginning again. Reset tells the stories of starting over and invites us to our second chance.

Contents
To my bride and best friend, Tiffany, and to the generation that will change the world. Buckle up. This is going to be fun.
My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,
of your saving acts all day long
though I know not how to relate them all.
I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign L ORD ;
I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
Since my youth, God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.
P SALM 71:1518, NIV
