Publisher Description

Not where you want to be? Wondering how to get there?

  • Why is it that smart people with admirable life goals often end up far from where they intended to be?
  • Why is it that so many people start out with a clear mental picture of where they want to be relationally, financially, and professionally and yet years later find themselves far from their desired destination?
  • Why do our expectations about our own future often go unmet? 

What if you knew the answer to those questions? What if there was one simple idea that explained why so many people get lost along the way?

 

There is. It’s called the principle of the path. And not only does it explain the disappointment and regret that characterize the lives of so many, it provides a way for you to be the exception.

 

As you are about to discover, the principle of the path is at work in your life every single day. Once embraced, this compelling principle will empower you to identify and follow the path that leads to your desired destination. And this same principle will enable you to avoid life-wasting detours along the way.

 

“If you’re ready to break the bad habits, bad behaviors, and bad decisions that have been leading you into trouble, you need Andy Stanley’s The Principle of the Path.”

–Dave Ramsey, host of The Dave Ramsey Show

and best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover

"The concept of this book is so simple that it almost seems a waste to read an entire book that deals with how the actions you're involved in now are shaping your future destinations in life. In fact, Stanley even mentions a couple times in his book that he hesitated writing sections or the book as a whole for this reason. And yet, I can't escape the fact that I found the book riveting. It was an incredibly challenging message delivered in the easily-accessible style of Andy Stanley. He walks you through the idea in a progression that leaves you at the end of the book (as well as in between) desiring to check yourself and the direction you truly are headed in - not just the one you wish you were."
