Synopsis

“To be continued…” The words build anticipation for what's coming...which is great for a Netflix binge, but not a healthy pattern for our lives. In real life, constant continuation causes our lives to pile up, episode upon episode, with no space for reflection or rest, contentment or closure. This book is for the too-busy, driven person who's moving on to the next win, without ever processing how one season of life affects the next. It's for the person stuck and held back because she's never done the hard work of getting real closure on a season. When we fail to finish well, we live with a pile of unfinished beginnings. But finished things become usable things because they are a part of the story of God’s grace and faithfulness. In these minutes, you’ll discover: How beginnings are important because they give birth to hope How we can hold on to hope when the journey is hard and the future is uncertain How to conclude moments, days, and seasons and find God's grace to be enough How hope sustains us as we learn to live in this moment and discover the beauty of redemption The pressure of our piled-up past needs to be brought to an end. Instead of vague storylines that stretch “to be continued", learn to start with the end in mind: To Be Concluded.

Is anyone else with me? How many times have we left a job or a career by burning bridges and scorching the fi......more

I really enjoyed Mike's latest book. It reminds me to take time to honor conclusions and remember that they provide exit for a season of life that we will not get back. It also reminds me to reflect in grace with how I have grown during that season. As Mike states in the book, we have to remember to......more

I can’t put this book down! This is hands down the best book I’ve read in years! How many of us have a past that we still hold on to or hurt people have caused us? This book shows you how to really put an end to holding on to all of that and surrendering it our Heavenly Father allowing you to live i......more

Goodreads review by Mary

This book is relative to anyone in any “season” of their life. In the particular season I am currently in, it’s been perfectly placed and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have read it. I will admit, I’m not a big “reader” meaning I prefer audio books. However this particular book has me second gu......more
