The first mile is an obligation. The second mile is an opportunity. Mile 1 can be described as work without a smile, water without ice cubes, a kiss without affection, life without passion, and acquaintance without friendship. The first mile is the minimum. It is the shortest and easiest road, but seldom leads to promotion, recognition, or success. Mile 2 is a much less congested winding narrow byway. Its pilgrims are intent on serving others and improving themselves while still enjoying the journey. In the end, Mile 2 is an attitude rather than a distance. Its twists and turns lead to and extraordinary life. This book contains secrets to help us traverse the Extra Mile.
“This is a MUST read!”
Five Star Review on Amazon By Gary J. Blanchard
Steve states Mile 1 is the minimum; Mile two is an attitude that leads to an extraordinary life! The book is contagious. Once you start reading you can’t put it down (I finished it in two reading sessions). Steve is a literary craftsman painting word pictures that communicate in powerful ways. For example a whole chapter on the word resolute; another providing a contemporary view of the Good Samaritan who becomes a better neighbor than Mr. Rogers; and stories from Steve’s experiences growing up on the mission field and serving as a church pastor. Each effective in challenging the reader to become a Mile 2 person. This is required reading for personal growth; improving team performance and improving service.
