  • onathan McReynolds emphasizes the importance of embracing both mountain and valley experiences in life, noting that while the climb is fueled by ambition and dreams, true growth and renewal come from time spent in the valley. Contrary to common belief, the valley is a place of rest, encouragement, and receiving God's grace, essential for maintaining mental health and sustaining progress. In Before You Climb Any Higher, McReynolds encourages readers to find their identity in God, rather than in accomplishments, and teaches how to prepare for success by learning in the valley.

  • The table has always been the spiritual, emotional, and relational center of a life well-lived. It's where the real work of life--from the mundane to the magnificent--is dreamed up, planned out, prayed over, accomplished, and celebrated. And the metaphor of the table is critical throughout Scripture.

    Yet most people aren't intentional about taking a seat at the table of their own lives--let alone prioritizing the important things that happen around the tables in their homes, at work, and beyond. Utilizing his trademark humor, compelling stories, and lessons from his life, including both his successes and failures, Anthony O'Neal helps readers

    • become empowered to make the best financial, career, health, emotional, and relational decisions;
    • identify the keys to foster strong relationships with friends and family, build a "work tribe that will help you achieve your goals, and develop a vision for thriving in every phase of life; and
    • discover an eternal quality of life filled with meaning, true abundance (including financial freedom), and joy.

     

    Just about every significant decision, conversation, prayer, celebration, affirmation, or critical decision takes place around the table--are you ready to take a seat at the head of your own table?
