A Greater Passion: Lessons on Living Large in Life and Love

By Mark Hughes

Passion is the fuel for life—all great achievement and advancement comes from passionate people.
What would our immediate world look like if we became passionate to love our spouse, passionate to raise our kids, passionate to help our friends, passionate to excel in our careers, passionate to serve our church and passionate to change our communities?
A Greater Passion is based on the life and teachings of King Solomon, the world’s most passionate man. He was unique in that everything he set his hand to he did with excellence and excess. With inspirational stories, laugh-out-loud humour, and at times biting sarcasm, this book will explore the often uncomfortable lessons which emerge from King Solomon’s extraordinary life story.
Every human has been called to a divine purpose, and reaching that full potential will ultimately come down to our willingness to align our passions with God’s unique plan for our lives.
