“This book will change the trajectory of your life.”—John Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and leadership expert
Too many people delay, downsize, or shrug off their dreams just because they don’t know where to start, but playing it safe doesn’t account for the massive cost of a life not fully lived. Win the Day is the jump-start you need to go after your goals, one day at a time. You’ll discover how to:
1. Flip the Script: If you want to change your life, start by changing your story.
2. Kiss the Wave: The obstacle is not the enemy; the obstacle is the way.
3. Eat the Frog: If you want God to do the super, you’ve got to do the natural.
4. Fly the Kite: How you do anything is how you’ll do everything.
5. Cut the Rope: Playing it safe is risky.
6. Wind the Clock: Time is measured in minutes; life is measured in moments.
7. Seed the Clouds: Sow today what you want to see tomorrow.
As Batterson unpacks each of these daily habits, you’ll see how simple it is to pursue them with focus and dedication—not someday down the road, but now. Transform your perspective of a single day and you’ll discover the potential waiting to be grasped at the beginning of each new sunrise.

In this spirited motivational guide, Batterson (The Circle Maker), lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., shares seven transformative habits to help Christians conquer life’s challenges. He explains that “winning the day isn’t about getting it right the first time... it’s about getting it right eventually.” To that end, he discusses seven habits: “flip the script, kiss the wave, eat the frog, fly the kite, cut the rope, wind the clock, and seize the day.” Together, the habits are meant to help readers push back against one’s internal “voice of doubt,” move beyond one’s past by “hiding from nothing,” tackle the day’s most pressing concerns first, “do little things like they are big things,” identify patterns of self-sabotage, confess sins, and learn from failure. Batterson cites the life and record-setting career of the late UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, who lived by the dictum “make each day your masterpiece,” as an example of someone who took to heart the “seize the day” mentality. This encouraging message to “give your dead yesterdays a eulogy” will appeal to any Christian reader of self-help.
