Two Steps Ahead

Coming soon. A new book by Jonathan Anthony Burkett is on its way.

Jonathan Anthony Burkett learned to survive by staying alert, and he learned to build by taking one small step after another. After a childhood that taught him to read every room, seizures that slowed him down, and brain surgery that changed his life, he found that progress is progress, no matter how small.

In Two Steps Ahead, Jonathan shows how to keep moving when big leaps are impossible, and how to think ahead so life does not keep catching you off guard. He writes about taking the first step, setbacks that are part of the path, knowing your patterns, protecting your name, thinking ahead with your money, your health and your anger, setting goals you can actually reach, and walking with God and good people one day at a time.

Inspired by his song "Two Steps," this book is for anyone who feels behind. Keep walking. You are further along than you think.
