LEAD SENIOR PASTOR, GATEWAY CHURCH

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE BLESSED LIFE, FREQUENCY, AND BEYOND BLESSED

This is less a Christian self-help book than it is a prophetic proclamation over your future! Using examples both from Scripture and from his own remarkable life experience, Samuel paints a powerful word picture about how to once and for all break the cycle of your present and be released from your past so God can empower you to do what you could not do before. If you feel like youve been in a years-long holding pattern, believing God for certain change but not seeing it materialize, this book was written for you.

Its time to have faith enough to hear the voice of Jesus saying to you, Be healed. Pick up your mat and walk! If you find yourself stuck in past failures, your family heritage, doubts, or insecurities, the mat you need to pick up right now is this book as Pastor Sam inspires and guides you to have faith enough to believe Gods promises for your life. When I need a spiritual shot in the arm, I call Pastor Sam to hear same thoughts and words contained in this book and to remember Gods unfailing, unrelenting, and unending love for us all.

Unapologetically confronting the most paramount need in our generation, my friend Samuel Rodriguez has brilliantly encapsulated the spirit of empowerment by refuting and nullifying any prevalent or dormant argument for complacency. We all need this book. At least one chapter has your story, your name, and your victory within its pages. No more excuses. You are next!

RUSSELL EVANS

The book You are Next is a much-needed read, particularly for believers who feel stuck, hopeless, and unable to advance in different aspects of their lives. Samuel Rodriguez does an exceptional job presenting real-life scenarios and aligning them with the truth of Gods Word in order to change mindsets. The book also challenges readers to recognize who they are in Christ, to apply His promises in their everyday life, and to never give up because those who persevere are indeed next!
