4 Books to Help You Live a More Disciplined Life

Win the Day by Mark Batterson

Too many people delay, downsize, or shrug off their dreams because they don’t know where to start, but playing it safe doesn’t account for the massive cost of a life not fully lived. Win the Day is the jump-start you need to go after your goals, one day at a time. As Batterson unpacks daily habits, you’ll see how simple it is to pursue them with focus and dedication—not someday down the road, but now. 

Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey 

By age 26, Dave Ramsey established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and through his workshops and bestselling books, helps people understand how to set things right–financially, emotionally, and spiritually. With practical and easy-to-follow methods and personal anecdotes, Financial Peace is the road map to personal control, financial security, and a lifetime of peace.

The Life You’ve Always Wanted by John Ortberg 

The Life You've Always Wanted offers modern perspectives on the ancient path of the spiritual disciplines. It's a road map toward transformation that starts not with the individual but with the person at the journey's end—Jesus Christ. As with a marathon runner, the secret to finishing a race lies not in trying harder but in training consistently with the spiritual disciplines. The disciplines are neither taskmasters nor ends in themselves. Rather they are exercises that build strength and endurance for the road of growth.

Today is the key to your success. Maxwell offers 12 decisions and disciplines—he calls his daily dozen—that can be learned and mastered by any person to achieve success.
