Home Run
by Kevin Myers and John C. Maxwell | Book Summary

Author: Kevin Myers and John C. Maxwell
|
The sad reality is that most people do not feel like they are living that type of life. We have competing definitions of success constantly thrown at us. The world says the person with the most money and toys is the most successful. However, God says there is a much different definition of success. Kevin Myers gives a practical and powerful explanation of God's plan for a successful and satisfying life. He uses the analogy of baseball. Having a home run life is about getting around the bases according to God's design for the game of life. He gives personal examples from his life as a church planter, husband, and father. He explains that everyone scores a run the same way. Each base is an area of personal and spiritual growth that is required to progress closer to home plate — our end goal. John Maxwell adds perspective through interjected sections in each chapter and application questions at the end of each chapter. His wisdom helps to make each truth more accessible. |
Kevin Myers is the founding senior pastor of 12Stone Church. It is the one of the largest and fasting growing churches in the United States. Kevin and his wife, Marcia, sold everything in 1987 and left Michigan to plant the church for spiritually unresolved people in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
John Maxwell is the #1 New York Times bestselling author, coach, and speaker. He is the definitive leadership authority in the United States.
