Description du livre
New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson reveals a life-changing truth about achievement: God is building you up steadily so you're ready for overnight success.
‘How did you go bankrupt?’ Ernest Hemingway wrote in The Sun Also Rises. The answer? ‘Two ways: gradually then suddenly.’ In this illuminating book, Mark Batterson reveals that this principle applies to every area of life – especially success.
Drawing from biblical wisdom, historical examples and his nearly 30 years of leadership experience, Batterson shows how success happens at the speed of a seed rather than the speed of light. He shows that what appears to be an ‘overnight’ success is actually the result of consistent choices and persistent faith.
Using compelling stories, Gradually, Then Suddenly reveals:
The Power of Persistence: Why staying in the game and trusting God often leads to breakthrough
Cathedral Thinking: How taking the long view changes your daily decisions and life trajectory
The Compound Effect: How small, faithful actions accumulate into life-changing results
Convictions vs. Opinions: Why deep conviction in God matters more than changing opinions
For anyone feeling discouraged by slow progress, Gradually, Then Suddenly offers the encouraging truth that God is working behind the scenes through your daily obedience to prepare you for moments of dramatic breakthrough.
