PRAISE FOR
The Well-Balanced World Changer

The Well-Balanced World Changer is a breath of fresh air for leaders who need a crash course in the art of setting healthy expectations and pushing through disappointment to stay the course and finish well. This book is like a seasoned friend who has the guts to tell you what you need to hear to push forward in tough leadership territory. It provides dozens of sticky insights that will help you pace yourself so you can live out your passions and great ideas for the long haul.

—BRAD LOMENICK, president and key visionary of Catalyst, author of The Catalyst Leader

Change is hard. Keep going. Read this book and you will be encouraged to pursue and balance your dream of changing the world. We all need this.

—JEFF SHINABARGER, author of More or Less, founder of Plywood People

Cunningham again reminds me that I am not a rock star and neither are you. What a relief! Rather, we are more than enough. Together we are God’s hands and feet placed exactly where he wants us for his purposes in our generation. Would-be world changers get a fresh idea of what this looks like in an ordinary yet intentional life.

—SHAYNE MOORE, activist, author of Refuse to Do Nothing and Global Soccer Mom

No one believes in your potential to change the world more than Sarah Cunningham. She’s one of the most faith-filled and compassionate thought-leaders to come along in years. Yet her insights are grounded and her ideas will disrupt your long-standing beliefs. This is a must-read for anyone who dares to dream.

—BEN ARMENT, creator of STORY and Dream Year

Reading The Well-Balanced World Changer is like having coffee with a good friend who cares enough to talk about things that really matter. You will feel exposed, challenged, and embraced all at the same time. This book is food for the soul of any world changer.

—CHARLES LEE, CEO of Ideation and author of Good Idea. Now What?
