Synopsis

Many think of ambition as nothing more than the drive for personal honor or fame. As a result, ambition—the God-implanted drive to improve, produce, develop, and create—is neglected and well on its way to paralysis. For some, dreams are numbed. For others, there are no dreams; life just happens. And for those who are dreaming, motives are often confused. One thing is certain: ambition needs help. Dave Harvey is calling for a rescue. He wants to snatch ambition from the heap of failed motivations and put it to work for the glory of God. To understand our ambition, we must understand that we are on a quest for glory. And where we find glory determines the success of our quest. Has your God-given ambition been starved and sedated for too long? Are you ambitious? It’s time to reach further and dream bigger for the glory of God.

Goodreads review by Douglas

This is a very fine book. Not only is it solid in its teaching, it is solid in a area that just about nobody addresses. Ambition sanctified is the need of the hour. Ambition unsanctified is a deadly peril.......more

Goodreads review by Brian

Whether you are an overachiever or a procrastinator, this book gives gospel advice on how to deal with our ambitions. Harvey begins by explaining that we pursue what we prize (ch. 1). Although ambition is a good thing, the problem is that we are glory thieves, hijacking the honor that is due to God......more

Goodreads review by Walter Shaw

Rescuing Ambition by @revdaveharvey came into my hands at just the right time. At twenty-five years old and approaching my last year of seminary, the question of “what’s next?” is something that I face every single day. As I write this, I don’t necessarily have an answer to that question, but I do h......more

Goodreads review by Jerry

Dave Harvey’s Rescuing Ambition is very good, in large part due to the nuanced view of ambition it gives. One entire chapter is titled Ambition’s Contentment, describing the patience and wisdom that go along with godly ambition. Another chapter is dedicated to ambition for the church, and not just t......more
