Discover the path to a significant life in Jeff Manion's inspiring book, where he reveals how true greatness arises from a consistent, faithful journey, made-up of small actions over time.
He often refers to the term "ant-power", which he describes as consistent, redundant, methodical — and life-saving. The ants remind us what can be achieved when we relentlessly chip away at the task before us.
