Wherever there is life, there is increase and growth. In Gods kingdom, there is a constant interchange of receiving and returning. Thus the capacity for receiving is increased. As one communicates the heavenly gifts to others, he makes room for fresh supplies to flow into his soul from the living fountain. Greater light, increased knowledge, and blessing are multiplied to him. Whoever is satisfied in receiving and never giving loses his capacity to receive. This is true in temporal as in spiritual things. There can be no life without growth. A plant must either grow or die. As its growth is silent and imperceptible, but continuous, so is the growth of character. The plant grows by receiving that which God has provided to sustain its life. Spiritual growth is attained through cooperation with divine agencies. As the plant takes root in the soil, so we are to take root in Christ. As the plant receives the sunshine, the dew, and the rain, so are we to receive the Holy Spirit. The object of the husbandman in sowing and planting is the production of grainbread for the hungry, and seed for future harvests. So the divine husbandman looks for a harvest. He is seeking to reproduce himself in the hearts and lives of his followers, that through them he may be reproduced in other hearts and lives. Eight Keys takes you step-by-step through the process of spiritual growth and development.

When a career-ending injury left elite athlete and professional football player Lewis Howes out of work and living on his sister’s couch, he decided he needed to make a change for the better. He started by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches’ advice from sports to life off the field. Lewis did more than bounce back: He built a multimillion-dollar online business and is now a sought-after business coach, speaker, and podcast host. In The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing “the greats” on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within. The masters of greatness are not successful because they got lucky or are innately more talented, but because they applied specific habits and tools to embrace and overcome adversity in their lives. A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness “professors” and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.
