Home Run: Learn God's Game Plan for Life and Leadership Description
You are invited to live life to the fullest.
For five hard years Christian leader Kevin Myers struggled personally and professionally. But it was during that time that God pointed out where he was going wrong and showed him the biblical pattern for living. It proceeded to transform his life, leadership, ministry, and relationships. During that time John Maxwell also became his mentor.
Together, using a baseball diamond as an analogy for following God's plan for life, Myers and Maxwell provide a clear path forward while helping you keep your priorities in order and your eyes on the prize. What is that pattern?

Is life totally random or is there a design (anywhere?)? What is life all about any way? Why are we here? Does any of this really matter? How do we find our way when everything seems to be cratering all around?
Could there really be a pattern on how to do life that makes sense? Yes there is and "Home Run" lays out such a pattern!
What is success in life? And isn't success better when there is someone to share it with? And let's look in the mirror. Can we hold our head up high with self-respect? Is our success significant?
Success -> Someone -> Self-Respect -> Significance
Kevin Myers and John Maxwell reveal both a remarkable and simple pattern, using the analogy of baseball, to lay out what we should and could be doing with the only life we have...the one we are living today. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
If you are tired of living a random life; if you are tired of wondering where you are and what you should even do next; if you want to tap into a power and develop the tools necessary to live a life that will sparkle, inspire, impact and transform both yourself and the world then read, internalize and apply "the diamond life," i.e. the pattern laid out in "Home Run."
Home Plate - Connection. Everything begins and ends here; it is where you hit (connect with) the ball and cross back over to score. Here we learn how to "connect" our purpose with God's power.
First base - Character. Win within. What happens most of the time when a player comes up to bat? They fail to reach first base. All along the journey of life all of us, at one time or another, let character issues get in our way - anger, addictions, selfishness, procrastination, gossip, lust...we all get it...but how do we control it?
Being a Christian is supposed to be all about abundant life - a life overflowing with joy and peace, right?
So why is it so many Christians find themselves banging their heads off the wall wondering when things are going to turn around. Wondering when that life of abundance is going to kick in. Are they not sincere enough, dedicated enough?
Pastor Kevin Myers was both dedicated to God and sincere in his faith, but yet he found himself knee deep in self-doubt and frustrated faith after trying to plant a church in Georgia. He was ready throw in the towel. He was burned out and low on hope.
But according to Myers, during this time of trial, God was revealing to him a pattern of living that would turn his life and ministry around.
Home Run: Learn God's Game Plan For Life and Leadership, co-written by Kevin Myers and John C. Maxwell, shares that revelation in a way most Americans can relate to - through the game of baseball.
Does a trot around the bases seem a little simplistic for a life-changing epiphany? Not being a fan of the National Pastime, I was skeptical of the import of this metaphor. But a couple pages into Home Run and I was ordering peanuts and Cracker Jack....metaphorically, of course.
As Myers struggled to plant a viable church in the suburbs of Atlanta, he had the opportunity to be mentored by John Maxwell, the preeminent authority on Leadership, highly respected in both the secular and Christian spheres. Throughout Home Run, Maxwell offers his insights on Myers offerings, relating stories from his own experiences, which give credence to Myers' observations.
Myers offers his readers a realistic game plan for life involving running the bases.
