Story
Each day involves countless interactions with others - not only among family and friends but also with neighbors, co-workers, even telephone solicitors. An attitude of love may not be your top priority in some of these encounters. But what if the ancient maxim "love your neighbor as yourself" applied to everyone, including those you meet in the most ordinary circumstances?

Story
Once upon a time there was a version of our faith that was practically...irresistible. But that was then. Today we preach, teach, write, and communicate as if nothing has changed. As if “The Bible says it” still settles it. It’s time to hit pause on much of what we’re doing and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and humanly speaking, little chance of survival. What did they know that we don’t? What made their faith so compelling, so defensible, so irresistible? Buckle up...you’re about to find out.

Is it possible to disagree politically and love unconditionally? The reaction of evangelicals to political and cultural shifts in recent years revealed what they value most. Lurking beneath our Bible-laced rhetoric, faith claims, books, and sermons is a relentless drive to WIN! But the church is not here to win. By every human measure, our Savior lost. On purpose. With a purpose. And we are his body. We are not in it to win anything. We are in it for something else entirely. That something else is what this book is about.

No need to sacrifice your family
Andy Stanley is an awesome speaker. His skills have certainly translated into his writing. Through this book, he uses his skills to help us see how God wants us to follow His word in our life at home and at work. There are many real life examples and situations which we all can relate to in one form or another.
If you are struggling to find more time at home, if you'd like to know how to cut back at work and feel okay about it, pick up this book!
The recording and editing was well produced and the narrator did an excellent job reading and emphasizing points Andy would've made himself.

Wish I would’ve read this sooner
Excellent book regarding dedicating your life to both your family and career. Andy makes no guarantees, but he gives real life examples of those who have been successful and those who have not. He lists out strategies to get what you want and recommends you to try it out for thirty days. I found this book helpful in applying it to my own life and goals. I’ll likely read it again.

Solid life guidance for working parents
I’ve tried to live by the principles of this book for maybe 8 years now. I came back to listen to this book on Audible to be reminded of what workplace choices about my time would be most honoring to God and my family. Still much gold to mine from these chapters. 5 stars.
The narrator did misspeak two words, but he still deserves 5 stars.
