Mike Foster - You Rise Glorious: A Wild Invitation to Live Fierce, Free, and Unstoppable in a World that Tries to Break You, Shame You, and Tell You that Youre Not Enough

In my life, both personally and professionally, Mike Foster is a tremendous source of inspiration and encouragement. Youll find both of those things in this book. Youll also find humility, wisdom, and compassion. And as always when it comes to Mike and his work, you will be met with grace.

Mike is your friend, whether youve ever met him or not. You can feel it on every page of this book, and Mike wrote it for you because he wants good for his friends. This book is a beautiful, healing thing, and I am so glad it exists.

What if we partied as much as we preached? This question from You Rise Glorious hit me like a ton of bricks, but it wasnt the only knee-buckling moment in the book. A lot of people write about grace, but Mike Foster celebrates it, creating a raucous call to a party everyone is invited to. If youve ever wondered if second chances are real and available, read this book.

Mike Foster is a rare and necessary antenna for goodness and grace.

In You Rise Glorious, Foster so beautifully shares the greatest news anyone can hear: you are beloved.

Each page of this book was designed to remind us of our incredible stories. Its the voice of a man I trust whispering over our shoulders that our weirdness is wonderful and our quirks are among our most endearing qualities.

I dont read many books, but I always read Mikes. This one leads us back to the core of who we are and how we should live. Filled with vulnerability, hope, and practical help, You Rise Glorious is a must-read!

The day I hit the lowest point in my life I made one phone call. It was to Mike. That phone call convinced me that I would rise again. And reading this book was like having that phone call all over again. This book is a manual for anybody who wants to rise again. Im so grateful for Mike and this message.

You Rise Glorious is a profound and inspiring book that will stir your heart toward belief, bravery, and the life God dreams for you.

S COTT H ARRISON, founder of charity: water

Mike and I have been teaching a class at a local university together. Its a class about success and failure and what we do with each. Truthfully, we spend a lot more time in class talking about failure than success. The reason is simple. Our successes often distract us, while our failures usually shape us.

Everyone wants to be successful. Whether youre a racecar driver or business leader or Olympian, you long to repeat your successes. Who doesnt? But not many people want to repeat a failure.
