Worthy Wins: Pointing Your Life Toward What Matters Most

At the end of your life, how will you know if you truly won? How will you know if your time was well spent?

John Olinger had it all-a dream job, collaborations with sports legends, and a career trajectory pointing straight up. But when tragedy struck with his father's sudden death, he confronted a haunting reality: There is a risk of getting to the end of life and having won at things that weren't most important.

In Worthy Wins, John-a former Nike marketing executive-vulnerably shares his journey of discovering what truly matters.

This Book Will Help You:


Uncover your personal definition of success

Identify the wins that deserve your limited time, energy, and attention

Build a strategic plan to succeed in the places that matter most

Deal with tensions and pitfalls that can derail what's most important


“This is the kind of book that you can re-read and take away something completely new and different.”

“This was an EXCELLENT read that any Christian or non-Christian should pick up. John is an excellent storyteller and provides practical ways we can all better manage our TEA to live more worthy lives by our standards as well as God's. I loved how he shared how he prayerfully made decisions about his career, family, etc. and how he gave the Lord the time and space to speak and lead his intentions and what mattered most to him in all areas of his life. This is the kind of book that you can re-read and take away something completely new and different. Highly recommend!”
