This Week's New Release
BY KATHERINE BALLARD
"Reaching for the Prize"
Sometimes, what we’re grasping for isn’t the same thing as what we’re reaching for.
In “Reaching for the Prize” by Katherine Ballard, readers are invited to consider the difference between grasping and reaching—and to wonder whether the prize we’ve set our hearts on is really the prize worth having.
What is your heart set on?
Will it satisfy?
As you read, ask yourself:
What’s the difference between grasping for something and reaching toward it?
Why do we sometimes cling so tightly to the prize we want?
Could the true prize be something we never expected to desire?
Come discover where the journey leads—and perhaps reconsider what you’re reaching for along the way.
