Beyond the Breaking Point: For the Glory (English Edition) pdf

What happens when you achieve what you thought would make you feel fulfilled—and discover it still isn’t enough?

If you’ve spent your life chasing success, recognition, strength, or the next accomplishment, Beyond the Breaking Point is for you.

Mike Houck knows the drive to prove yourself. As a young wrestler, he believed greatness could be earned through discipline, sacrifice, and victory. That pursuit eventually took him to the highest levels of Greco-Roman wrestling during the Cold War era—and to an unprecedented world championship win.

But his greatest victory didn’t come on the wrestling mat.

Before the championship came disappointment, personal collapse, and a crisis of identity that forced Mike to face a question many high achievers eventually confront:

If my accomplishments don’t define me, what does?

In Beyond the Breaking Point, Mike shares the remarkable true story of his journey from striving for greatness to discovering a far deeper source of identity, purpose, and hope in Jesus Christ.

This is more than the story of a world-class athlete. It is for anyone who has pushed harder, reached higher, or accomplished more, only to discover that success cannot satisfy the deepest places of the heart.

Through victory and defeat, discipline and disappointment, Mike’s story reveals that while perseverance can make a champion, lasting strength comes from knowing who you are—and Whose you are.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there is something beyond achievement, beyond disappointment, and beyond your own breaking point, this story will point you toward the One who meets us there.
