Books

I have read many "adventure books" which usually tell the story of the physical & technical elements of the adventure.

But there is more to this book!

Seven unique individuals use their collective strengths to rigorously train for and then climb a cold,rugged & physically/mentally demanding mountain.

That in itself is a lifetime accomplishment

Stephen McGhee shares the emotional, mental, spiritual as well as the physical journey of these men in a manner that captivates the reader. He also shares the physical, emotional & spiritual transformations that take place with these men & how their lives have changed for the better!

Well worth reading plus it gives me a road map to be a better person! ~CEGLAD

When you read a book by Stephen McGhee, it's a lot like a conversation with him... Amazing things happen. The adventure of this tale is undeniable, and the wisdom of McGhee's Leadership will help you move to greater levels in your own life and business. I had the honor of being on the expedition of which the book refers to. The entire experience changed my life and continues to change it for the better. Climb to Freedom is an inspired communication of Stephen's experience on the mountain punctuated with his world renown insight and leadership acumen. Stephen welcomes you into the journey as if you were part of the climb itself. If you are like me, you will see yourself in this book in many places. It's like being on the mountain... without the altitude sickness. ~Jeffrey A. Patterson

Steve's new write Climb to Freedom is unexcelled in leadership motivation, and is a true story of how he personally "Walks the Walk." His previous book, "Learning to Believe the Unbelievable: Living Life as a Miracle Leader" is one of the best management books written and is a guide on how to manage your life for success ... emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Climb to Freedom is a story about how he and six companions actually carried out that philosophy over a gruelling, heart-wrenching, and freedom releasing nine months of preparation and three week climb up the highest mountain in the western hemisphere ... Mount Aconcagua.

This story is better than fiction! Earnest Hemingway would have been amazed if he could have shared the preparation and climb ... and then told the story! ~George Fitz

The value of this book is evolutionary. I started the book Friday and finished it on Saturday morning. The book now sits by my computer for daily inspiration and instruction. It occured to me that many people climb their very own Aconcagua's every day. We all love stories about success and overcoming challenges. The difference was that Stephen took the time to get the gold from he and his teams experience. Rather than keeping it for himself, he translates it into something any human being can both relate and incorporate into their lives. He acknowledged the climb and struggle where so many of us tend to ignore. What we perceive as our struggle on the climb is un-acknowledged inspiration to those around us. My suggestion is to purchase two books and give one away to someone that inspires you to climb hire. Enjoy. ~M. Tinder

Stephen's book, Climb to Freedom, captured my attention right from the introduction. You get caught up in the massive adventure of this life-changing journey with these seven men, but you are also sent into deep thought and reflection with Stephen's leadership and life lessons throughout. There are twists and turns that are unexpected and life metaphors that will stick with me for years.

If you are an avid mountaineer, a weekend adventurer or just someone who lives vicariously through the thrills of others, you'll love this book and walk away with some wonderful insights into your own life. ~tammid

Not too many books come along that can help change the way you approach your life, but this journey from the ordinary to the extraordinary does just that. Discover your purpose and your integrity and do it in the context of seven men climbing the highest mountain in the Americas, the great Aconcaqua. ~Steve Shiver

Stephen McGhee has written a bold and life-affirming call to action for leaders everywhere to become miraculous in their work. I've read it three times. ~Steve Chandler, Author of Time Warrior, The Story of You

Stephen McGhee has written a majestic and clear reference for magnificent leadership and more importantly magnificent living. With the simplicity of a master guide, this book, word by word, chapter by chapter, leads us to the keys that bring satisfaction without limit onto the miraculous. ~John Morton, Author of You are the Blessings

How can it be that with so many seminars, trainings, programs, and inspirational material available, our planet seems to have so many vacancies for truly powerful--and empowering--leadership? To my mind, Stephen's book points the way to a leadership paradigm that can fill those vacancies. Practical guided exercises, amazing personally revealing anecdotes, and an unapologetic call to action. This book will create leaders that no longer chant, "Follow me!" It will birth leaders who have the courage to say, "I'll go first." ~Toby Estler, Author of Running Home

Great book! Stephen McGhee does a great job in sharing his beliefs of creating what he calls "miracle leadership" in a easy to follow yet impactful way. His personal examples are from the heart and in doing so touched my heart and spirit. ~Christopher M. Natzke, Family Martial Arts Center

Stephen's Living Life as a Miracle Leader is a must read for anyone who wants to turbo-charge their personal or professional life-or both! It's for anyone who wants to transform his or her life. It's for anyone who wants to learn the tools to step outside their comfort zone and become comfortable living life 'outside the box', where each day becomes extraordinary. Stephen walks his talk, so you can trust he knows what he is talking about. ~Candace Semigran, CEO, Insight Seminars

I believe that this book will guide you to becoming a living miracle...the ultimate gift to yourself and humanity." ~Michael Galli of Worcester, MA

"From birth we are all given the chance to create magic on a blank canvas. Steve's life work thus far has been a masterpiece. This book, in particular, is an inspiration in the truest sense in that it leads us through the steps and pathways to re-connect with our birth-right privilege; of being greater than even our own most miraculous dreams. The discussions on "Stories vs. Realities", the power of "Thoughts" and "Prayer" can be life changing if purposefully applied. If you want a no-nonsense guide to living the life our spirit intends, then this book is a MUST READ. Thank you, Stephen." ~Jeffrey Crane of Gilbert, AZ
