About the Book
Imagine your highest and best life.
Envision your most abundant life. How would you describe it? What does a good life...better yet, a great life, look like for you? Most of us desire a great life, and there's no shortage of advice on how to get it. Opinions abound. However, perhaps you've noticed that interesting opinions and catchy sound-bite advice fall short of delivering on the promised path to a good life. Maybe you've wondered if there might actually be a foundational, life-organizing principle you could trust. What if there is a principle that holds true for all people, in all times, in all places...including today?
Turns out, there is, especially if you're a leader.
Whether you lead your business, guide your family, pastor a church, administer a governmental agency, coach a team, teach in a school or direct a non-profit, you have the opportunity to not only live your own most abundant life, but to also use your influence as a leader to help others do so as well. This book will help. The principle you're about to discover is ancient. It found its first expression in the earliest forms of written language as a single word that has been woven throughout human history. Although the word is little known, and has been obscured for centuries, the principle it encompasses was true 6,000 years ago; it's true today; and it will be true tomorrow. In fact, it's timeless. Like an archaeologist unearthing a priceless scroll, as you explore the pages of this book, you'll uncover the enduring keys to living your most abundant life, and helping others do the same. Welcome to The AVADA Principle!

What Leaders Are Saying about THE AVADA PRINCIPLE
"For twenty years I've watched Michael serve and coach business owners, government officials, church leaders, and diligent workers serving in various vocations. In his service, and in the scriptures, Mike has discovered a crucial key to living a fruitful, joyful, integrated life. The three building blocks of a fully activated and integrated life - an AVADA life - are worship, work, and service. I guarantee that this book will change how you think about work, worship, and service, and thereby change your life. You will be more integrated (whole, complete, unified), more purposeful, and more productive!"
--Ken Johnson, Senior Pastor (Retired), Westside Church, Bend, OR
"For the last two decades, God has caused an awakening among men and women in the workplace to see their work-life as a holy calling. Many books have been written on this topic during this time. However, Michael Sipe has given us a unique book on how to effectively integrate our work-life, worship, and service in his book, The AVADA Principle. I found this book to be very helpful in providing key truths about the importance as well as ideas on how to effectively do this. I highly recommend Michael's book, The AVADA Principle!"
--Os Hillman, Author, Today God Is First, President, Marketplace Leaders
"You hold in your hand an extraordinary work, an ingenious design and set of blueprints, and a "How To" road map for an integrated and successful life. Many thought leaders, writers, and coaches have danced around this topic with vague concepts and ethereal antidotes. But as you unpack the AVADA Principle, page after page will reveal proven truths, relevant and thought-provoking questions, and cutting edge strategies. This book is a gift from heaven, as is the author, and the life he leads. Enjoy the AVADA adventure as you live the life you were created to live."
