Uncovering The Inner Hero

ABOUT THE BOOK We each have two lives. The second begins when we realize we only have one. - Confucius. When Jonathon's childhood best friend passed away, a new awareness consumed him; we only have this one life, no second chances, no re-do's, just this one opportunity to live out our dreams. Realizing this, he questioned everything. The most important question he asked; Am I fully living or am I slowly dying? After pondering this question he decided to take ownership of his life by changing the way he looked at it. He changed the way he thought, the way he felt, and inevitably the way he lived transformed. It wasn't easy. No. Far from it. He had to abandon belief systems, let go of relationships, and walk away from who he thought he was in order to step into who he was always meant to be. Now he lives a life of purpose, consistently actualizing the limitless potential he found buried within. Are you living your life as the hero or slowly dying with untapped potential still inside? Is your body moving through the motions while your soul is asleep? Are you self-sabotaging, limiting, and not fully loving yourself in the ways you are capable of? When you are honest with yourself, you may face some hard realities. There is still time, no matter where you are in your life. It's not too late for you, it's not too late for any of us. We are on this journey together and we must empower each other to do the work. Together, we can change the world. This is the realization Jonathon came to and this is how this book ended up in your hands. Jonathon shares his journey, the ups, the downs, the good, the bad. He doesn't hold back on the truth; he lays his journey out on the table so you can better understand how to implement these practices into your life and not be discouraged when things get tough. This book is a compass, guiding you to find yourself. Not the self you think you know, but the hero that is ready to surface.

"He's in there--the man you want to be--or the man you want him to be. Really, he's in there. And Jim's book is going to help you find him, and live the life you want to live as a man." --John Eldredge, author of Wild at Heart "Since the beginning of time in the Garden of Eden, man has gone about building a new reality where he is king and controls all things. This flawed intention leads all of us into the dead ends of life where instead of fulfilling the illusion within our mind, we become more frustrated and unfulfilled. Through his excellent book, Jim shows us that the answer is not outside of us nor is it in us trying harder but instead in learning to loosen our grip and trust the only one who has all things under his control. This is a must read for you and all your friends." --Pablo Giacopelli, author of Holding on Loosely and Leadership Coach "Many books intended for men are long on guilt and short on hope. Not this one! I was convicted, challenged, inspired, and given real life application to be the man God intends. Get this book!" --Chris Wells, Christian speaker & chaplain for the BASS Elite Series Passivity has been with men since the fall of Adam.
