HERE IT IS!!!! This is book 3, of 5. The first 3 are being published together this month! I've completed number 1 and 3. Here is book 3 BECOMING SUPERHUMAN The Formula to Awaken Humanity 2.0 Enjoy!

INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS A SUPERHUMAN? INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS A SUPERHUMAN? Throughout history, nearly every civilization has asked the same question: What is the highest possible version of a human being? That question has never left me. It is the question behind this book, behind more than thirty-four years of study and teaching, and behind the community now gathering around these ideas. Different cultures have answered it differently — and the convergence of their answers is one of the most quietly remarkable facts I know. The Greeks called it eudaimonia: the flourishing of the human soul fully actualized. Aristotle believed every person contains potential that must be drawn out through the cultivation of reason, character, courage, wisdom, and justice. Plato held that education was not the filling of a vessel but the turning of the whole soul toward Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. The Stoics insisted that beneath the accidents of circumstance, every human being possesses enormous untapped capacity for emotional mastery, resilience, and virtue — and that developing this capacity is the essential work of life. Christianity places transformation at its very core. Becoming a new creation, bearing the fruits of the Spirit, growing toward the full stature of Christ — these are not aspirational metaphors. They are a description of what a human life, yielded to divine love, actually becomes. And Scripture does not stop there. Jesus makes a promise so audacious that we have mostly been too polite to take it seriously: "Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing — and greater things than these will they do." (John 14:12) That is not a motivational poster. That is a statement about the ceiling of human potential when a life is fully surrendered to God. Paul writes of gifts of healing, wisdom, prophecy, and discernment, given freely to those who walk in the Spirit. Whether those gifts express themselves quietly or dramatically, the invitation is the same: become all you were created to be.

Please read and share your thoughts. BECOMING SUPERHUMAN The Formula to Awaken Humanity 2.0 Because We're Better Than This! A NOTE FROM JAMES I was not supposed to be here. Before I was born, God and I made an agreement. I believe this — and, if I'm honest, I believe it about every human being who has ever drawn breath. We agree to our lives on purpose: the family, the circumstances, the precise configuration of gifts and limitations, the drama and the grace. We agree because the path we are choosing is the only path capable of making us who we are meant to be. That belief is why I can tell you what I am about to tell you without bitterness. The math of my life has been wrong from the beginning — and always in my favor. Before I was born, doctors told my mother that neither of us was likely to survive. She refused the advice. God had different plans. At three years old, I fractured my skull and collarbone and was given multiple 50/50 chances across the weeks that followed. I survived all of them. My nervous system was wired for intensity in nearly every clinical direction — ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, complex PTSD, and a sensitivity to sound and touch that made the ordinary world feel overwhelming. I could not speak in sentences until I was nine years old. I could not read functionally until I was twenty-one. I grew up in a home where love and violence lived side by side in ways I will describe honestly in these pages. By the time I was a teenager, I had already lived through enough to break most people permanently — and perhaps it tried. At nineteen, I stood in Florida and scheduled a meeting I was certain would end with someone else pulling the trigger on my life. I was not trying to survive. I was trying to find a way to stop. On a Friday night in a condo lobby, I prayed the most desperate prayer of my life. And everything that followed was not what I planned. A girl. A church. A sermon that cracked something open. A rented room, a Bible, and a question I heard in a way that was impossible to explain and impossible to ignore: Do you want a relationship with me — or not?

I just wrote this in CH 8 of Becoming SuperHuman and I couldn't resist sharing it with you! "I believe every person is perfect in their personhood and imperfect in their performance. These are not contradictions. Your worth is not in question. Your development is. The great adventure of a human life is the closing of that gap — not because you are deficient, but because you are capable of more than you have yet expressed, and the expression of that capability is one of the deepest satisfactions available to a conscious being."

I'm going through my last full version edits for Becoming SuperHuman this morning. These quotes start chapter 7: "The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." — Frederick Buechner "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how." — Friedrich Nietzsche "Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose." — Helen Keller
