Are you FULLY ALIVE? I had to admit I’d stalled a little. I had just survived one
of the most brutal years of my life. I had reached the other side of it,
happier but exhausted. My low physical activity job left me psychologically
tired at the end of each and every day. I had even gained weight.
KEN DAVIS’ book, FULLY ALIVE caught my attention “A Journey
that Will Change Your Life.” I’d heard
Ken Davis on Christian radio stations off and on for years. He offered short
snippets of encouragement each day. I wanted some of that.
Ken talks about his life and reaching a goal he didn't want:
being overweight, often battling depression and out of breath. His journey involved setting new goals and
breaking those goals into hard but obtainable steps forward. He reminded me
that anything worth having is worth going for. It was how I had ended up on the
other side of such a tough year. I had realized that my life was nose-diving
and I needed to make a change. I had changed, but I still wasn't the best
version of myself.
Change is exhilarating, disconcerting and sometimes
exhausting. What I needed now, was encouragement and new goals. FULLY ALIVE is
packed with tales and vignettes from the
life of Ken, his friends and acquaintances that motivated me. He covers
something that I have known for a while but his book was the proof I needed. I
hit a major milestone in my life a few years ago. On that day, I said I wanted
the next same number of decades to be more exciting than the first. So far, it
has been. But with this book as a reminder, I not only believe it will continue
to be, but I hope to exceed my wildest imagination.
If you're someone who needs a jump-start, who
feels like there’s more out there to experience, that if there’s one more drop
of life to be had don’t want to miss out,
