The Fierce Urgency of Now

Time waits for no one.

Whether you mean to or not, you use it up, regardless of if you're napping, playing games on your phone, or binge-watching shows on television.

Time is priceless.

Ask any billionaire on his/her deathbed what he/she would want, they would ask for more time. They'd give up their entire fortunes for it. Ask any parent who lost his/her child; they would give their own lives to grant their child more time. Ask anyone suffering from a fatal illness, such as cancer, what they would ask for, MORE TIME.

Multi-time Author, Eli Gonzalez, got diagnosed with Stage 3 Throat Cancer, a debilitating disease that has taken millions to the grave. Weak from losing 30 lbs. in thirty days, unable to speak for a month, and experiencing unbearable amounts of pain, while lying in a hospital bed, he made peace with God to take him. He didn't want to live another day full of pain, sorrow, and despair.

Upon reflecting on his life and wishing he had done more, he prayed for more time. He promised God to live intentionally and to do his best to live up to his calling and maximize his gifts. God granted his request.

The Fierce Urgency of Now has been written in a revolutionary and easy to read style. Eli allows us to come along for the ride on one of the most brutal and intimate journeys a family can go through. He also shares what coming face to face with his own mortality taught him.

Prepare to be moved, enlightened, and inspired to maximize the gift of the present to live the great life God designed for you.
