Every Trial Is an Opportunity to Flourish
In football, a blitz is an all-out attack. Defenses use them to
force the quarterback into a mistake and create mayhem and
destruction. But by its nature the blitz also creates an
opportunity for the quarterback and his team, as it leaves holes in
the defense. What looks like the worst play can become the
best.
During a life "blitz," when everything seems like it's
collapsing--financially, relationally, spiritually, or
physically--if you take initiative you can do more than just
survive. You can grow, succeed, and advance. In Facing the
Blitz, Jeff Kemp shares lessons he's learned through all kinds
of life blitzes, both personal and professional. Discover how life
is about transformation and being others-oriented; having the right
mind-set can turn unnecessary fear and misery into courage and
joy.
No matter who you are--men, women, sports fans, business leaders,
etc.--this book is about the things that matter in your life. Don't
end up flat on your back when trouble comes. Learn to seize
opportunities to flourish and grow.
Includes end-of-chapter questions for assessment and
application.
