Whatever the Cost: Facing Your Fears, Dying to Your Dreams, and Living Powerfully

by David Benham, Jason Benham, Scott Lamb (With)

Overview

Are You Ready to Live With a Full-Throttle Faith?

This trade paper edition follows the story of entrepreneurial twin brothers, David and Jason Benham, from their formative years in professional baseball to their rise as owners of a multi-million dollar business empire to securing an HGTV reality series. It’s a journey where the brothers learned how they must die to their dreams not just once, but twice—as they walked away from professional baseball careers and later as their television series was stripped away from them. These experiences helped them realize that the key to powerful living is found when we die to our dreams and face our fears, and choose to live powerfully through it all. The biblical principles they implemented to guide their lives are what give us the courage to stand for what is right.

The book will expand on principles such as:

• Be a Fountain to Others and not a Drain
• Produce More in Value than You Receive
• Work to Your Ability and not Your Pay
• Breathe Life into All Situations
• Hold to a Standard of Disciplined Living
• Find Your Greatest Blessings on the Other Side of Your Greatest Fears
