Gameness is a personal, or organizational, ethos. It is an intentionally cultivated mindset that takes dominion of one’s perspective, purpose, problems and performance.

Two books. One relentless pursuit of what's possible.

two book covers for Strayed and Gameness

David Dennis doesn’t write from theory — he writes from the trenches of a life fully lived. In Gameness, he teaches us how to “land on our feet, not on our feelings,” by upgrading our perspectives, realizing our potential, tackling our problems, and mastering our performance in life. In Strayed, he turns that same unflinching honesty toward the American institutional church, diagnosing why thousands of congregations are closing their doors and pointing toward what community was always meant to be. Whether you, or your church, have strayed from the “true North” of what’s possible for you both — David offers not easy answers, but a compass forward — earned through experience.
