Descriptions
One line
There is a price on everything worth having. Everything.
Short
Across twenty-five centuries of true, verified stories, you will meet a wrestler who carried a growing bull, a slave who taught emperors, a girl in a metal leg brace who became the fastest woman on earth, a stammering boy who rebuilt his own voice, a prisoner whose silence produced a masterpiece, a parlormaid the experts rejected who carried a hundred orphans over the mountains — and a boy in a Nigerian bakery who learned, at seven years old, that nothing happens by chance.
Full jacket copy
And most people spend their entire lives standing at the counter — looking at the life they were meant for, reading the price tag, and quietly walking away.
Nobody warns you that becoming who God made you to be will cost you something: your comfort, your certainty, the approval of people who preferred the old you. Nobody tells you that the hard season you would never have chosen may be writing the best chapter of your story. This book tells you — plainly, warmly, and with proof.
The price of growth is real. But the price of remaining is higher — and it compounds.
The only price you cannot afford is the price of becoming no one.

Suggested interview questions
Ask about the book, not the blurb.
- You open with a bakery in Ijare, Nigeria, when you were seven. What did that day teach you that took decades to understand?
- The book insists every story was verified — and flags the ones that are legend. Why did that matter enough to slow the book down?
- You write that "the price of remaining is higher — and it compounds." Where have you watched that happen?
- You spent thirty-five years serving in church roles from janitor to pastor before founding a network. How does that shape a book about growth?
- Who is this book actually for — and who should not buy it?
