Increase Me is not just another self help book written by someone twenty years removed from struggle. This book takes a realistic and transparent look at life and how we live it.

Increase me is just as much strategic as it is motivational. Each chapter builds on itself in an effort to build your arsenal and equip you for any challenges that may lay ahead. Most people in life have a pretty good idea of where they would like to see themselves. They are aptly able to tell you what type of home the desire, what brand of car they would like to drive, how they would like their marriage to play out, or even what they want their careers to look like at its end. A small percentage of people actually have a plan and tools as to how they plan on arriving at all of these amazing places.

Increase Me will equip you with an easy to remember, easy to implement plan of action as well as provide you with a treasure chest of tools and wisdom to use along the way. Life is a journey and the Word of God is your roadmap. Increase Me will help you to avoid traffic along the way! Enjoy the ride! https://squareup.com/market/adrian-wynn-ministries
