Your roadmap to navigate uncertainty
Praise for What Comes Next
Many books for Christian leaders are either too simplistic or too complicated.
The simplistic ones may bring good ideas or inspiring stories but don’t help you think and act differently. The complicated ones may show you how smart the author is, but the content only bogs you down in your busy world. In What Comes Next, Nick and Ali have done the work and walk us across the razor’s edge. It is stunningly simple yet profound; it’s super-readable yet comprehensive. We desperately need more books like this today. It will be your guide for a lifetime of innovation for the glory of God.
