Publisher Description
What if the world's view of success is God's definition of failure? What if your beliefs about marriage, children, career, or money aren't based on God's values, but on those of a broken culture?
When Dale Partridge's outwardly perfect life, marriage, and family were crumbling on the inside, he began questioning if culture's definition of success was something to seek after or be saved from. What he found challenged everything he believed about "the good life" and equipped him to rebuild an even better life based on God's timeless design. Filled with scripture and practical application, Saved from Success is the book millions of burned-out and bedraggled Christians have been waiting for.

So-so book with so much potential
First, let me say I appreciate Dale for taking the time to write a book on this subject matter. We need more titles that talk about true success to combat the thousands of world success books that are available.
With that said, I wish he would have dived deeper into the subject matter and made real application to each point. I wish he would have shared more life stories from a man who experienced success on both sides of the fence. I feel the book lacked substance and felt more like a curation of blog posts.
It really depends on what you’re looking for in a book. It’s a easy read that can be used for a group study. I guess I was looking more for a 1,000 page critical thinking auto-biography.
