What Others Are Saying:
Ā
My life motto is this: "If you want to be successful, read books written by people who are actually successful." Thatās Allan Blain. Finance and business success, sure, but Allan is a guy who has also found success in his personal life, spiritual life, and family life. So often I see finance books written by people who are broke and weight loss books written by people who are overweight! As a guy who knows Allan personallyā¦heās the poster child of success.

This book is exhortation in the highest degree. It encourages the risk taking, God glorifying, faith walking life that Jesus calls us to. Youāll leave with a recalibration of trials, success, and the adventure we were never called to stop living.

Life hits us all hard and doesn't stop. The torrents and the waves keep coming. Though I know Allan and Nicole, until I read this book I had no idea all of the trauma and obstacles they have faced along the way. From sibling suicides, to job loss, financial ruin, health issues, and on and on - many stacked atop one on another at the same timeāso much so that most would have justified chronic bitterness, anger, despair, hopelessness, and rage. They instead focused on gratitude, forgiveness, and faith in a God who loves us and wants the very best for us. This is a story of amazing renewal and restoration with an undyingĀ and confident hope in the midst of heartbreaking devastation. What an inspiration! What amazing hope and faith! I encourage you to read this book and rejoice in the renewal of your faith in the God who truly cares for you.
