About this audiobook
SHINE: BORN FOR THIS is the most comprehensive guide to male excellence, success psychology, and generational legacy ever written from a biblical foundation. It is written for men — unapologetically and specifically for men — because the particular landscape of gifts and dangers, of power and vulnerability, of calling and temptation that this book navigates is the specific landscape of male existence.
It talks about money. About power. About sex. About the women who will be drawn not to you but to what you carry. About the gatekeepers who control every industry and how to navigate them. About the destiny helpers — the Mordecais, the Barnabases — who will open doors you cannot open yourself. About the Judas who will come from close range. About the overbearing godfather who helped you and now believes he owns you.
It does not flinch. It does not apologise. And it does not leave God out.
