Introducing my book!

Simple subscription to a set of ideas requires no sacrifice from individuals and thus has no power to change their nature. Therefore, theories and principles constructed through careful study and observation do not carry the power to transform a life. That which has no power to change an individual has been drained of its ability to impact the world.

Thus, those who wish to encourage transformation in the world around them through the imposition of a philosophical identity must first demonstrate its value by personal application of its fundamental principles. Though the definitions of value vary with every individual, the prize of a successful life, which these principles are meant to produce, remains unchanged across individual and cultural distinctives.

This book outlines a way of life by which every individual can realize the full potential of his or her success. Unique among its peers, its standard of value has no limits, and encompasses the entire human experience. At its core, the philosophy outlined here derives its value from the application of Christian doctrines to the experience of life.

Because the application is imperfect through the author's life and experience, it transcends the limited usefulness of academic theory and sheds light on the foundational truths that hide in between the lines in the form of faith, hope, and love. Though the story presents evidence of their existence, these truths can only reveal themselves as the individual pursues a relationship with their creator. Thus, even for the author, this story is only the beginning of the adventure.
