A Trip Around the Sun

Turning Your Everyday Life into the Adventure of a Lifetime

By: Mark Batterson, Richard Foth, Susanna Foth Aughtmon

Narrated by: Mark Batterson

What happens when we take Jesus at his word when he says, "I have come that you might have life and have it to the full?" New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson and his mentor, Richard Foth, have done just that with their lives - and in A Trip Around the Sun, they show listeners how they too can experience their lives and faith as the ultimate adventure.

In a fun, storytelling style, Mark and Dick challenge listeners to shake off fear, dream big, and quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. The accumulated wisdom from their combined 117 trips around the sun radiates from every heartfelt minute, invigorating those of us who have found ourselves stuck in a rut dug by our sense of duty and our fear of the unknown. Anyone who wants to grab life and squeeze every ounce of joy out of it will be inspired by this unapologetic celebration of the life Jesus died to give us.

Inspirational!

I've just finished this book, and am ready to start listening to it again! It has been life-changing to say the least. The adventures, wisdom, and humor stored within these pages will brand your heart with a desire to live life to its fullest and to dream no small dreams! A HUGE thanks to David and Dick, the authors, God has used your life stories to challenge and encourage me to live out some stories of my own. Grateful.

Best Book Ever! DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!

I am a total Mark Batterson fan, but this book blended with Richard Foth and read by them was by far the most inspirational and thought provoking book I've read. It is chucked full of so many God nuggets that I am going to buy it in book form so I can highlight and remember all the great stuff. This is a MUST read for all Christians that needs their motivation recharged or just want to be challenged. I just loved it. Write some more together guys!! I love you Richard Foth! Don't care how old you are!

An amazing adventure!

The book is filled with adventures. Each author gave it there best for Christ. A book I will read again and again. Thank you.

Not the best Batterson book

What made the experience of listening to A Trip Around the Sun the most enjoyable?

It was an okay listen. Not as good as Mark Batterson's other books.

Grace

These stories remind me of God's Grace and help in my continued grief recovery. I am reminded in these words of the 'God Ordained' aspect of my adventures and to seek it BEFORE embarking on the next adventure glorifying Him!

So Inspirational

Pastor Dick Foth and Pastor Mark Batterson did a masterful job painting a picture of a live filled with God blessed adventure! I needed to hear this book. I have hopes that after a length recovery from illness, God Almighty can and will use my life in dynamic life giving ways.

Great stories and History!

Loved everything about this book! What mazing friendship, love for Jesus,and testaments of Faith! Dick Foth and Mark Batterson are great examples of walking faithfully with Christ.

Just wonderful!

What a great book. Challenged me to live life fuller than ever before as I seek to serve the Lord. God bless the authors.

Exceptional

A great diolog about mentoring and it's impact on the way mentor as well as the mente. I think it is more impactful if you have read some of Mark's books and know more of his story, but I think I would have been impressed if I hadn't.

Inspirational and thought provoking

Loved this book. First person narration made it more interesting and challenging. Highly recommend this book to those who are seeking purpose God' purpose for their life. These two men call us to leave a legacy for others and to live life to the fullest.
