Success Is Not an Accident

Tommy Newberry Β· 2011
76/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Tommy Newberry delivers a structured, faith-grounded framework for goal-setting and intentional living that has genuinely helped over 100,000 readers across multiple languages β€” the NYT and WSJ bestseller track record isn't hype, it reflects staying power. The principles echo Covey and Maxwell, so readers already deep in Christian success literature may feel the overlap, and those outside a Christian worldview will find the faith integration inescapable. For its intended audience it's a solid, actionable guide that practices what it preaches.
