Soles4Souls Founder & CEO, Wayne Elsey, has another title to add to his signature -Author. His new book, Almost Isn't Good Enough is releasing December 26th, theanniversary of Soles4Souls creation. The book shares Wayneʼs story from a teenage boy on the verge of committing suicide to the founder of one of the fastest growing charities in the world. Along the way, Almost Isn't Good Enough takes a look into what has made Soles4Souls grow to where it is today.
Wayne's hope in writing the book is that every person that reads it walks away believing “YOU MATTER” and can make a difference in the world. Almost Isn't Good Enough will speak purpose into your life, much like the purpose Wayne discovered when he founded Soles4Souls. In typical fashion, Wayne is determined to use this book to help others, that is why 100% of the proceeds will go directly towards furthering Soles4Souls mission. For every book sold, 10 pairs of shoes will be given to people in need!

Just basing it off of the trailer alone, I have to question the Christian element to this book. What Elsey was saying sounded more like a Napoleon Hill / Secret type of, “You can accomplish anything you put your mind to,” speech. It just so happened that his mentality led to an altruistic endeavor following success in the business world.
Is the book focused on matters of the Christian faith, or is it more about charity and self-belief-ism?

I’ve read this book, and it’s quite inspiring. I wouldn’t call it a Christian book, per se, but it is a book by a Christian who is seeking to live out God’s call on his life. He’s a believer who is motivated by the Jesus’ words, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Luke 12:48). Non-Christians will use this book as a motivation behind their “charity” work, but Christians should use it to encourage them to walk the path Christ has set out before them. I highly recommend it.
