The Jesus Dare
This is the most important book I've written. My legacy. Please join me in this movement. Give this book to anyone in your life that doesn't know Jesus. Or freshen up your own testimony.
The first 26 chapters provide all kinds of wonderful reasons why trusting Jesus is a savvy and satisfying idea. The book also dispels any nagging doubts or cynicism. Best of all, the last chapter challenges the reader to take the Jesus dare.
Order now. Or go to thejesusdare.com and check out the podcast, music video, sermon notes, graphic memes, chord chart, discussion guide, and more.

The Prayer of Agur
It's the only prayer in all of Proverbs. Written by an obscure character with much to say. Imagine if we all opened our heart to Agur's wit wisdom . . .
"Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread."
PROVERBS 30:8
Escape imbalance. Pursue your passion. Reap the rewards of trusting God.
Find your sweet spot. Experience the sweet spot bonus.

What If God Wrote Your Bucket List?
Here’s a valuable hint: God’s bucket list for your life does not include
collecting all 7,576 species of butterfly. But He does want to fill your bucket with a few things that bring you true joy.
I’ve been told this book is easy to read. But
somehow it also makes you think long and
hard in unexpected ways.
An 81 second vdeo you'll want
to watch more than once.

What If God Wrote Your To-Do List?
Eat the frog. Get a posse. Try monotasking. Plan your escape route. Be like Simon. Pause before posting. Notice squirrels, armadillos, and kangaroos. Do stuff no one does anymore. Draw in the sand.
And 43 other thought-provoking tasks.
In my humble opinion, all 52 things are worth doing today (or tomorrow). Sure, some you may be doing already . . . but most of them, you're not.
What If God Wrote Your Shopping List?
Yes! You can be free from "stuff." Even more important, you can invest your time, talent, and treasure in stuff that matters. Chapters include a world map shower curtain, unicycle, mustard, fire insurance, a red-letter Bible, and probably NOT lottery tickets or the latest iPhone on the day it comes out. Per my writing style, chapter titles aren't always what they seem to be.
