Will Acuff shares his vulnerable journey from deep despair to radiant joy in this compelling call for us to move beyond our tired assumptions about God and into a life lived in daily joy. This transformative book offers nothing less than a new way of engaging with Christ, yourself, and others. No Elevator to Everest invites you to discover:

  • A liberated self-understanding as you see how Christianity embraces both the knowledge of self and the knowledge of God
  • Encouragement and resilience for your own circumstances as you read one family’s story of experiencing God’s tenderness in the midst of clinical depression, trauma, and disability
  • Daily practices to move you from rare “mountaintop” experiences or stale frameworks to everyday heart-level connections with God
  • Joy that is not dependent on what is happening to you but flourishes from what is happening in you

With a refreshing emphasis on emotional health, Spirit-led self-awareness, and intimacy with God, No Elevator to Everest guides us beyond mere survival into a life of soul-deep peace and spiritual thriving.

About the Author:

Will Acuff, a pastor’s kid with a master’s in biblical studies, co-founded Corner to Corner, a nonprofit organization that promotes economic equity by launching underestimated entrepreneurs out of historically low-income communities in Nashville. As a father and husband navigating family health challenges, Will found renewal through trauma counseling and contemplative faith, embracing paths through pain to rediscover God’s love and guidance.

My brother has that kind of faith that stays joyful even in the midst of pain. He doesn’t run from or ignore the hardship but rather steps into the experience fully, deepening his trust in the Lord every step of the way. In this book, Will takes what he has learned, blends it with contemplative Christianity, and makes it practical. He demonstrates his own process of daily joy and invites us into it for ourselves. This is not a book of theory, but of hard-won wisdom.

Over the past year, my family has grown to know Will and his story, and I have been directly impacted by his insight and wisdom that he lives out in his daily life. He has profound discernment in how to find hope and develop perseverance, and he is a sage guide toward creating healthy rhythms and implementing them in an anxious and overwhelming society. I believe his voice is a steady source of wisdom and encouragement that is desperately needed in our world today.

Will Acuff is a deep-water soul, a wisdom well, who draws daily from the riches of Christ to pour out life-giving water to all his neighbors and friends. His faith is embodied, and he has walked through great trials and accomplished many a great thing with a humble and authentic joy that is contagious and with a peace that is steady. His lived-out faith has been a deep source of encouragement to me and to our entire city. His delight is to see all people flourish, and that is a delight so close to the heart of Christ.
