Billy Graham – An Extraordinary Journey [Saturday Morning Review]


by

In a word association game, Billy Graham is likely to come up when one mentions evangelism.

After going to seminary, he preached through crusades, radio, television, and writing. Besides his autobiography and other works, a documentary on him is on Netflix. Dubbed, “Billy Graham — An Extraordinary Journey”, the hour-long documentary is a highlight reel. ... Read More

To check out all of the posts, view the table of contents here] In this chapter, we start to get into helping the character take action. That’s important as having a clear message is good, but we can then put people off with a confusing message on how to implement those ideas. The plan provides evidence that you can deliver and how someone can take action. If these are clearly ... Read More

Why Our Best Thoughts Come To Us in the Shower [Video]


by

Some people say that their best ideas come in the shower. Others say, as they are laying down to sleep or brushing their teeth or mowing, they find this is when they are able to think best. But why is it so easy to be able to get great ideas in such an unusual place? Here is a quote from the video below: The ideas that have been half-forming at the back of our minds, ideas about what the true purpose of our lives might be and what we should do next, keep up their steady inward pressure – but ...

App Stores In Numbers: A Market Overview [Infographic]


by

Did you know that it's been 10 years since the mobile app market first launched? Crazy, right? Do you wanna to know what's even crazier? The average person now spends 121 hours a month using apps (a month has a total of about 730 hours). It's crazy to me to think that something that didn't exist 10 years ago, now plays such a huge part in our daily lives. ... Read More

[GIVEAWAY] The Name of the Wind [Saturday Morning Review]


by

Let me start off by saying I am very picky when it comes to fiction books, even more so when it is fantasy or sci-fi. So when I recommend this book as a 5 out of 5, know that I mean it. The Name of the Wind is the first book of the currently incomplete KingKiller Chronicle series where magic is beautifully discussed and the hero, who may not always be the hero, fights his way through life. ...

by

[This post is part of a Book Club book series where we take a deep dive into Building A StoryBrand by Donald Miller. To check out all of the posts, view the table of contents here] Now that I'm a few chapters in after my review of Chapter 3, I think I could've done a better job there. I almost think I tried to preempt the entire book from the introduction of the SB7 Framework. If you've been part of the bookclub we hope you've been enjoying the journey with us. Chapter six builds on the ... Read More
