Publisher Description

Do you feel like you missed the boat? Are you burnt out? Have your feet been dragging the sidewalk? Do you catch yourself dreaming of what could have been? Of if-only-I-had, or if-only-I-hadn't? This book is for anyone sitting in the audience who should be on stage, anyone reading blogs who should also be writing them, anyone supporting ministries who should be leading them. It's for the Christians who know there is a better life, but who are just stuck in the one they're living.
//
Saved in the Jesus Movement of the seventies, Chris DuPré connected with countless Christians across the world. Yet too many of those Christians, Chris discovered, have years later lost the fire and stepped back from living out their faith. Why? Because they got stuck--stuck in rejection by others, stuck in fear of the unknown, stuck in loving a comfortable life, stuck in scores of similar ruts. What can set them free from their internal prisons? And what could Christians accomplish if we all just got unstuck?

Review

"Unstuck! What a great title and what a great book! As a pastor and leader I've seen countless people who, for one reason or another, have become 'stuck.' Chris DuPré's book, Unstuck, not only goes to the heart of why so people can't move forward, it gives voice to the struggle as well as hope for the heart. Chris has been a dear friend for over twenty-five years. I've seen him wrestle with things that others might use as an excuse to remain stuck, and yet he found in God what was needed to triumph and to move on to what God had next for him and for his family. Chris' pastoral heart and insight come through so clearly in his latest book. I recommend Unstuck to anyone needing wisdom, vision, and hope on this journey called life." --Mike Bickle

"It is remarkable that as a generation with unprecedented opportunities, so many of us have believed the lie that we simply "can't." However, the Word of God never returns void. (See Isaiah 55:11.) Unstuck is a wonderful reminder of the promises of Jeremiah 29:11--that the Lord has plans and purposes for our future, which will be fulfilled if we persevere. Our Father says that we can! We just need to hold on to hope, by faith and patience, and press through the hurdles that try to hinder us. Knowing our identity as overcomers in Christ, we inherit the promises. Through his personal stories and anecdotes, Chris DuPré exhorts us that it is possible to break through the facades of fear, rejection, delay, intimidation by the unknown, and more. Unstuck is a gift to believers in all seasons of life, inspiring them to believe again that though we may face challenges and feel knocked down, as the righteous we get back up, seven times over! (See Proverbs 24:16.)"

Generals International "Perhaps you have wondered why you are not more highly motivated or why you don't go for greater fulfillment in life. Can this be changed? Yes! Unstuck by Chris DuPré will help you! Chris explains how beliefs held in the heart such as fear, rejection, and pride, act like quicksand, keeping us from rising to our potential. Discouragement sets in, and we back off. But if you honestly face your issues, you can get unstuck and go for your dreams. Well done, Chris; the nation and the world need this message desperately." --John Arnott

Toronto, Canada "When Jesus was asked questions concerning the issues of life, He would often tell stories. Some of those stories are called parables--real or fictional illustrations with applications for understanding life and how things really work. Similarly, Chris DuPré, a collector of wisdom and a master storyteller, has packed the pages of Unstuck with real-life experience and insight. He writes with delightful transparency that makes wisdom easy to find. This is a book to read and share. If you don't need 'unsticking, ' then surely your friends and family do!" --Charles Stock

Chris DuPré has given you an amazing toolbox of revelation to set you free from any and every disappointment life could throw at you. With an amazing flair for communicating, Chris presents truths that will keep you thinking for days after you have finished reading it. I loved hearing him share so candidly about his life journey--a journey that hasn't always been a piece of cake. You should know that once you pick up this book, it will next to impossible not to finish it. You are going to enjoy getting Unstuck! Thank you, Chris, for being so real and honest that each one of us can identify with our need to be unstuck."
