Some seasons feel like a desert: dry, lonely, and unforgiving. Deserts are also where cactuses grow and become resilient, rooted, and alive with hidden strength.

In CACTUS: 12 Steps to Prosperity, Especially When Life Gets Prickly, Chad Newell invites readers into a faith-forward journey of personal growth and leadership transformation. Through vulnerable stories and hard-won lessons, he shows how adversity can become a catalyst when you choose to store the right things in your heart, mind, and soul.

These twelve steps are organized into three movements-Rooted in Character, Growing Together, and Flourishing Forward-so readers can build a strong foundation, strengthen relationships, and lead with clearer vision. Whether you're carrying pressure at work, navigating a setback at home, or wondering if it's too late to pursue what God placed in you, CACTUS offers a steady path forward. When life gets prickly, you can still grow-spines, fruit, and all.
