I love to read. I love to grow. I love it when a book comes along that allows me to do both. There’s nothing better than a book with a call to action to get off your butt and start doing something.
That’s exactly what Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into your Comfortable Life has done for me.
I’ve been too comfortable lately. The day in and day out routine of life has caught up with me and I don’t like that feeling. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the feeling of being comfortable.
When I get too comfortable in my circumstances though, I know it’s time for more growth.
What does it mean to be wrecked? Author Jeff Goins puts it this way.
“To be wrecked is to be disabused of the status quo.
The book calls for us to be compassionate. Can we be compassionate if we haven’t suffered ourselves? Are we willing to suffer so that we can be compassionate?
“We live in a world of pain, but few of us have actually engaged it. We are only passing through the pain, without allowing it to leave its mark on us.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
So, what exactly is the book about?
Wrecked is about the life we are afraid to live. It’s about radical sacrifice and selfless service–how we find purpose in the midst of pain. It’s a look at how we discover fulfillment in the least likely of places. It’s about living like we mean it. It’s a guide to growing up and giving your life away, helping you live in the tension between the next adventure and the daily mundane.
Let me tell you what this book is not. It’s not a quick read through that will entertain you. It’s not a book that gives you an excuse not to follow your calling. It’s not a book that will sugar coat pain.
It’s a book that will wreck your current world and give you a new call to action.
I’ve been honored to be part of a team that was the first to receive this book. I’ve had the privilege of watching Jeff work diligently to bring this message to you and I’m confident you will enjoy it as much as I did. If you don’t, check your pulse and try again.
I’m encouraging you today to buy the actual book, not just the Kindle version. There are perks for you, of course. When you buy the book and email your receipt to Jeff, you’ll six FREE gifts totaling over $158. Oh, and it’s cool stuff you’re gonna want too. Check out the details here.
This is a great read for anyone. It will change your perspective. It will open your eyes. It’s time to get uncomfortable.
