How to be (Un)Successful

How to be (Un)Successful is a book exploring how Jesus’ life and teachings invite us to discover a success that truly satisfies our souls.

About this book

How to Be (Un)Successful explores humanity’s elusive search for the wrong sort of success, and how Jesus’ life and teachings are the perfect antidote. Success is attainable – not in what we have but in how we live. This book looks at how Jesus invites us to experience a success that truly satisfies our souls.

Over six chapters, Pete Portal explores different facets of Biblical success, unpacking the countercultural ways we can build God’s Kingdom here in our own lives.
