Through my work in books, movies, television, syndicated columns, and arena events, I interact with countless people around the world who want to become successful. Unfortunately, these people have never learned the rules. We are all a part of a wonderful creation, but if we want to succeed, we’ve got to get in touch with the Creator and study the owner’s manual. Ken has given us a guide for how to think, act, and grow as we pursue our calling and success.

If you ever get stranded on a small island in a big ocean, you will want to have some water, food, and a few basic tools. I think you will also want to have a Bible and a copy of Thriving in God’s Life Preserver. Ken Mullen’s book does a masterful job of speaking to the big topics in the Christian Life in a most practical way. If you have to wait a year or two to get rescued, you will have a life preserver of truth to reflect upon and apply. This is a book you need to move to the top of the stack!

Ken is a great friend and voice of encouragement in my life and church. I believe this book will impact you in a great way as you learn to let the HOLY SPIRIT be your life coach that will lead you to a life that THRIVES!

As in the day of Esther, Ken’s book is a relevant message for “such a time as this.” He equips us as Christ’s ambassadors in the waves of a changing and challenging culture, clarifying that a path of intimacy with the Lord is more necessary than ever. Ken brings us deeper understanding of our God-given commission that speaks of the gravitas of our call, but also of the protection and safety of The Life Preserver, Holy Spirit. Both invigorating and inspiring, Thriving in God’s Life Preserver gives a fresh call to pursue a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, knowing we have anointing and fruit in every sphere of life. Ken’s writing, teaching and communication style make these principles accessible to every believer, whether starting a new walk with the Lord, or whether a Christian for many years. I imagine a wave of faith released across God’s people as they read and connect with the truths that Ken offers.

Ken Mullen is an extraordinary man whose life illustrates what God can do when someone surrenders to the Lord and allows the Holy Spirit to be their life-coach. As a pastor I have personally witnessed the blessings of God on his life, his family, his ministry, and his business career. I have watched how God has used the years of wisdom and experience Ken has gained as a corporate executive and ministry leader to help inspire and equip others to hear and< follow the Holy Spirit. Now, Ken has skillfully and passionately shared his years of insight and experience in this powerful and life changing book to help you experience the abundant life in your relationships, ministry, and business. Ken incorporated in this book the life lessons and< Biblical principles that have empowered him to live the abundant life Christ came to give all of us. He shares how you can implement the spiritual principles of God’s Word in your life in a practical everyday way. This book will help you learn how to trust and depend on the Holy Spirit to coach, direct, and lead you to true success in every area of your life. This is not just a book, it’s a “playbook” for life and will inspire you in Christlike living!

As I read Ken’s book, I realize I have an advantage over many readers because when I read it, I hear Ken’s voice in each word. This book represents not only his years of experience, but also his character and heartfelt desire that all would be able to hear and embrace these timeless truths. Ken has walked with Jesus through many things and has faithfully lived out his faith in many positions and places. He invites you to share in his walk, step by step, providing you with the wisdom God has entrusted to him. I pray it will encourage you to seek a deeper understanding of God’s unique purpose for your life, and like Ken, listen to the voice of God above all others.

We live in a season of access to immeasurable amounts of useful information. Life coaches, advisors, counsellors, motivational speakers and others who advertise their desire and ability to enable and move us to a better place in life. Good advice and challenges to our thinking can certainly bring fresh perspective and lead to personal growth or cultural reshaping. But the most helpful impartations offered to me over the years are wrapped around four elements that Ken addresses in this book: What does God’s word tell us? What impressions am I receiving from Holy Spirit? From what experiences (mine and others) am I able to draw? How does all this honor God when applied to my current situation? Ken Mullen has been an excellent model in providing practical, experience-derived, Holy Spirit inspired wisdom and mentoring. He has tossed me God’s Life Preserver more times than he knows and the impact of wisdom and knowledge which The Lord has released through him is significant in my life and many others. Prayerfully processing this book will give the reader a wonderful glimpse into Ken’s personal and professional life. Ingest the information he shares! Digest its principled truth and practicality! Manifest the fruitfulness of life in Christ!
