Praise for
Master of One

We are rightly inspired and grateful for all Jesus Christ did in his essential mission in life. But it is also breathtaking to consider what he didnt do. As the ultimate Essentialist, he modeled the disciplined pursuit of less. This is beautifully illustrated in Jordan Raynors Master of One.

I tell people all the time You cant do it all, but then I catch myself trying to complete just a few more things as my to-do list mushrooms every morning.

C AREY N IEUWHOF , founding pastor of Connexus Church

My stepfather, C. S. Lewis, used to say, We do not need more people writing Christian books. What we need is more Christians writing good books. This is true for any Christian in any line of work. I am thrilled that Jordan Raynor has taken the time to explore this idea more fully in Master of One.

D OUGLAS G RESHAM , stepson of C. S. Lewis and executive producer of Disneys and Netflixs Chronicles of Narnia films
