These were not the words you would expect to hear from a\u003cbr\u003e successful businessman when asked about his plans for retirement. Through twenty five years as the\u003cbr\u003e owner of a small business, Nathan had achieved the modern definition of a successful life. His home\u003cbr\u003e and business shared space on a ten acre Colorado property. He owns a second home on the coast of\u003cbr\u003e Florida where he keeps an expensive boat and all the gear to support his love of fishing. \"They told me\u003cbr\u003e 'he who owns the most toys wins,\" he said, \"but I don't feel like I've won anything.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nathan had collided with the reality that the version of success presented by modern society is smoke\u003cbr\u003e and mirrors designed to distract us all from the true purpose of life. The definition of success being sold\u003cbr\u003e to our society is a lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like Nathan, I had once been a business owner with cash flow, assets and opportunity yet I found myself\u003cbr\u003e looking beyond all of that, longing for a deeper meaning from life. What should have been the pinnacle\u003cbr\u003e of my personal success became instead a pivot point that turned my life to a new direction.\u003cbr\u003e Through a small prayer, asking for understanding, I unknowingly opened a door that allowed God to\u003cbr\u003e move me off of a Caribbean beach and into a modern wilderness where He changed both my definition\u003cbr\u003e of success, and my understanding of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In order to save me from myself, God took me to exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 154\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 06, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51773391700256,"sku":"9781948153003","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/20b806e4d6d2b25b2eb6d072779beb36_3d22c5cf-db6e-42d6-815f-0113fc18a97b.webp?v=1780425946","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/exile-a-modern-wilderness-journey-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
