Few Christian writers combine theological acumen, devotional fervor, vocational insight, cultural savvy, and absorbing narrative as Bill Blankschaen. This work is a veritable handbook on success in the Christian life—not superficial success of popular self-improvement manuals clothed in a thin Christian veneer, but godly success anchored in the truths of the joyous Christian revelation. In our culture imbued with a bleak outlook for far too many Christians, Bill proposes a destination of hope and joy and expectation in Jesus Christ—and shows us how to get there.P. Andrew Sandlin
President, The Center for Cultural Leadership

Praise from a Few Awesome Readers 

You CAN live an adventure, not just read about it or watch it in movies. This book will help you navigate the dangerous opportunities that defines a life of faith. Blankschaen walked the walk. He tells his story- plus those of others – and ends each chapter with questions and guidelines, warnings, to keep one clear of pitfalls in the journey. You can either go through the book quickly and then return to the end of chapter questions for reflection or journaling, or take each chapter at leisure, using the guide questions for clarity. I found Blankschaen’s writing style relaxed even while he delved into profound themes in each chapter. I highly recommend the book. — J A Flores

A Story Worth Telling is rewarding and convicting. For me it has come at the best time; when I am in a valley of crisis and find my faith being asked about… my faith that I am now seeing as something GOD expects of me. I can learn more, do more, figure out more, but GOD just wants me to breathe and have faith… step out in it, wallow in HIS care… Thank you Bill Blankschaen for following up and writing this extraordinary work! I highly recommend this to who need and must grow their faith. — Sandit10562

Bill’s new book is a perfect place to start for a wake up call to refocus our lives with an eternal perspective. Thankfully, he doesn’t just inspire us to walk a life of abundant faith, and then leave us to figure the rest out by ourselves. Bill switches seamlessly from the inspirational to the practical by examining Biblical heroes of faith, as well as modern Christian role models to spell out how to best position yourself within God’s pleasing will so that He can work through you. — Clay Sturm

I could not put it down once I started reading. — RKHarmon950
