Built For Greatness - 81 Ways to Unleash your Inner Power
How many self-help or life-strategy books have been around for thousands of years and are still revered by millions of people today? There are arguably two: the Bible and the Tao Te Ching. Built For Greatness - 81 Ways to Unleash your Inner Power is the Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching, an 81-day journey into the limitless power of your spirit that leads toward true happiness and abundance.
The text here is infused with language from the Bible to clarify the themes the two books share, and the volume includes annotations to specific Bible verses so you can trace each idea back to scripture. These subtle, powerful, often paradoxical truths are overlooked by the world at large, yet they speak to Christian and non-Christian readers alike.
Greatness in this book is not maximum effort aimed at fame, financial success or the other trappings the world commonly venerates. It is finding, orienting yourself toward and then following the flow of God's Spirit in your life, trusting it to guide your actions and amplify your efforts so you achieve your best possible life. That might include wealth and other material blessings, or it might not. Everyone's path is different. Take care of the journey and the destination takes care of itself.
How should you read Built For Greatness? Avoid the temptation to rush. Read one chapter every day as an 81-day experiment, then take a spiritual inventory at the end. How have your thoughts changed over eleven weeks? What are you doing differently now? Is there more peace and stillness in your life? Many readers begin again. In the wake of a Reformation that divided Christianity 500 years ago, this Christian version of the Tao Te Ching is offered as a unifying spiritual Reformation for now and the future, teaching us to keep our priorities clear so we can follow the Spirit of God and exercise leadership with God's amazing grace.

Which one should I choose
There are three ways to read the Tao Te Ching, and the difference is how much of the Bible comes with it.
| Built For Greatness - 81 Ways to Unleash your Inner Power | Choose it when you want the Tao Te Ching read through a Christian lens, with Bible language woven into the text and annotations to specific verses. |
|---|---|
| A conventional Tao Te Ching translation | Choose it when you want the classical text on its own, with no scriptural framing and no daily-reading structure. |
| A standard daily devotional | Choose it when you want short scripture readings alone, without the paradoxical wisdom tradition this volume draws on. |
If the goal is to follow the flow of God's Spirit rather than to study a philosophy, the Christian Edition is the one to read.
