ABOUT THE BOOK


Second place, no matter how talented, is never celebrated, even though there is only one other individual or team that’s better. In fact, if every single person in the world were to be ranked against one another, there still could only be one number one. So, here’s the question: Is winning really all that it is cracked up to be? Absolutely, it is. If I didn’t believe that I wouldn’t be writing this book. The win God has in store for you though is quite different.
