The Compass: From Performance to Purpose
By Reginald Fields

Some men chase success and lose themselves. Some run from calling until the wilderness finds them.

Elias Ward had it all on paper - corporate influence, a reputation built on execution, a life running at full speed. But when everything unravels, he's left with nothing but silence, an unmade bed in a Scottsdale apartment, and questions he doesn't have the strength to answer.

Then he finds a brass compass that doesn't point north.

Passed down by a stranger in the Arizona desert forty years ago, the compass doesn't show you where to go. It shows you Who to follow. And following it will cost Elias everything he thought defined him - before it gives him back something far greater.

The Compass is a faith-driven inspirational novel about one man's journey through wilderness, surrender, formation, and return. Elias must confront the ghosts of his past, face the calling he abandoned, and discover that the leaders God uses are not the ones who were never broken - they're the ones who let Him rebuild them.

For every man who has run, hidden, or wondered if God still knows his name - this story is for you.

"It will not show you where to go. It will show you Who to follow."
