Miseries of Success

We often seek success, only to be left with a hollow feeling. Miseries of Success recounts the tale of one man's lengthy road to achieving success. After two decades of highs and lows, he eventually established a prosperous company. Yet when he sold it, his heart was broken, his family connections were frayed, and he faced an identity crisis. While this book tells the story of his success, it focuses on how he overcame these difficulties afterward. It also shows how God revealed to him that his true identity lies within Jesus Christ. Buddy Raney is a follower of Christ, husband, father, and papa as well as an accomplished business owner. Despite coming from a broken family and having only finished eighth grade, God has blessed him with incredible success. He was able to build a construction business over the span of two decades, though his greatest challenge came when he finally sold it. After that, Buddy had to figure out who he was without his company. Today, Buddy is secure with his identity in Christ. He knows there are more struggles to work through daily, but is enjoying his time with family and encouraging those around him.
