What if the secret to a transformed life wasn't more willpower—but better habits? Over 40 percent of everything you do each day isn't a decision. It's a habit. The question is: which habits are you building, and where are they taking you? In Kingdom Habits, Scott Donnell makes a bold, clarifying claim: if your greatest hope is eternal—if you believe Jesus is coming back and a new heaven and earth are coming—then your daily habits must match that hope. Most of us live with Kingdom hope but earthly habits. This book is about closing that gap.

We're either right or wrong and will ...

When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby in the early 1920s, the American Dream was already on the skids. Originally based on the idea that the pursuit of happiness involves not only material success, but moral and spiritual growth, the dream had, by Fitzgerald's time, become increasingly focused on money and pleasure - a phenomenon with which the high-living writer was all too familiar.
