Start with the manifesto.

Before you choose a trail, read the map. The Adventurous Author Manifesto names seventeen convictions about God, work, strength, story, and finishing — so you can tell whether we are headed the same direction.

What is inside

  1. I.

    Kneel First

    because adventure begins with worship, not ambition.

  2. II.

    Steward the Gifts

    because God did not make you generic.

  3. III.

    Climb Daily

    because faithfulness becomes visible in repeatable action.

  4. IV.

    Live My Story

    because God is the Author, Jesus is the Hero, and this is the life He entrusted to me.

  5. V.

    Finish Faithfully

    because faithfulness is fulfillment, and the harvest is knowing Him.

Know God. Love people. Finish faithfully.
