    "Drawing upon their own professional and personal experiences, Coughlin and Julian not only offer their insights and wisdom as to how one can navigate life’s storms with clarity and conviction, but do so while leading the reader on an intimate journey emerging from their own spiritual and personal renewal. Be forewarned, reading this book will not only cause one to reexamine and reassess their current status in life, professional or personal, but will provide scriptural principles necessary to pursue a life of influence rather than a life of affluence. Coughlin and Julian use various passages of scripture to drive home the strategic importance of being grounded and balanced, both spiritually and personally. I recommend this book to anyone who may be re-examining their standing in life or for the person who simply needs quiet reassurance that they are on the right path."
