Author Tim Hansel gives the keys (and the spiritual rationale) for personal peak performance, keys which are designed to help unlock the kingdom of God within you.
I have read this book every 3 or 4 years for the last 15 years. I am due to read it again and have ordered copies for two special friends so we may discuss the book and our personal growth. As it has been several years I can only say it is with great honor that Mr. Hansel given away his gift of understanding in a way that I understood what servant leadership was. To lead by example is one thing, but to lead others by giving away the tools of leadership, is what Christ did. We each have an opportunity every day to give it away, to give the shirt off our back or the love or guidance needed by another. Some day's they only need validation... Thank you Tim Hansel, David
Continuing inspiration

I have read this book several times. It is underlined and written in on many pages. I recommend this book to anyone who seems to have lost their zeal for life. Tim is a man who knows how to motivate and inspire anyone who wants to do more than just 'get through life.' If you are having troubles, suffering or just feel like quitting. This book will get you going and keep you going. By the way this is not just another inspiratonal book - it is a book that will keep you living now with your eyes on the ultimate reward in heaven. I can't imagine anyone not being built up by reading this book.
This book brought me back to Christianity
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I came upon this book by accident -- it was on a bookshelf of a B & B where I was staying. I've since bought several copies and have given them to friends. This book isn't about bible study, it's about an active person who found that for those of us who are already living well -- climbing mountains and with successful lives -- can still find something in Christ to STILL motivate us. So much of what is written in other books is dry biblical study, or saccharine sweetness about Christ as if he were Santa Claus. This book, however, speaks to COMMON SENSE about how easy it is to embrace Jesus, and to look in the bible for guidance. After reading this book, I bought OTHER books to help me with my bible study -- but I never would have done it without this fresh perspective of easy common sense regarding God and Jesus and the whole gig of being a "Christian." I recommend it!!
Experiencing the Hidden Adventure

I read the book called "The Hidden Adventure" by Tim Hansel, reputed to be the same book under a different title, and can definitely testify to the difference that it brought to my personal walk with Jesus - I do truly now know that this walk is the greatest adventure ever...
A must to read if you want to be christ like in action.

This is a book I re-read once a year. It has a positive, practical outlook on how God expects us to be successful. It has helped me put life in perspective by allowing me to see the way each moment makes up out lives; there is not one big moment that we need to wait for to start living. Our actions and responses to "living" is how we reveal God to our world.
