The Way to Win

by Jeff Little

When we find something valuable that helps us accomplish the things that matter most, we don't let go of it. Life is not a game. However, on multiple occasions, the Bible uses competitive sports metaphors to demonstrate the discipline and training necessary to grow and become everything God created you to be. The things we care about most -- our identity, our purpose, our relationships -- are far more important than a game. We have to learn to win in these areas. We understand development when it comes to sports, our careers, our hobbies, and even our personal lives. There are tangible goals we can shoot for. And yet, when it comes to our spiritual lives, it often feels more elusive. This book is not a fail-proof formula to avoid pain, challenges, or adversity. It's a journey to a deeper relationship with God. This is the reason you were created. This is winning in life. This is what you're going to care about when you come to the end of your life and wonder, "Did my life matter?" What if you could be developed in your professional career through a greater understanding of God's Word? What if you could learn to build a healthy culture both in your workplace and in your home? What if you could win in the areas of life that you care about the most?

The more life I live, the more I realize how hard it is to put profound things into simple, understandable, actionable terms. That's what this book does.

I read it again this year for probably the third or fourth time - it should be a yearly read for men.

Pastor Jeff has a unique gifting for leadership and speaking to men. This book is an incredible book to walk through with a small group (as I am now) or individual as a practical discipleship tool. This is a best in class resource for male mentorship. Grateful for you, Pastor Jeff!

by far the greatest men’s discipleship book I’ve ever read. It leads you on a 10 month plan designed for the context of small groups to win in all areas of your life. Can’t recommend enough and I’m excited to go through it with some new men next year.

It’s a good Men’s discipleship book. I enjoyed going through it with the group I read it with. The main thing bringing it down is that it hits a lot of topics on a very surface level rather than focusing on a few and digging deeper.
