Publisher's Description
Discover how you can achieve true and lasting greatness…the answer might surprise you. "If you've picked up this book, you have the opportunity to do more than you ever thought was possible." New York Times bestselling author, Michael Todd In Welcome to the Basement, podcaster and thought leader Tim Ross shows you how you can achieve true and lasting greatness. But his tools and tactics might surprise you. Ross has put them to the test in his own life, and he's come to believe that the only way up is down, the only way in is out, and that downward mobility is your only hope for upward utility. For far too long we've been held captive by false promises of hype and hustle in a world that needs hope and healing. Previously published as Upset the World --and now fully revised and rewritten for today's unique challenges, circumstances, and opportunities-- Welcome to the Basement is a rallying cry and a practical guide to God's radical last-shall-be-first, least-shall-be-greatest way of living. Tim will help you: Discover that you are God's masterpiece and learn to receive His unstoppable love and grace. Gain step-by-step guidance for identifying the people, places, and pieces that you've been called to disrupt and shower with God's love. Experience for yourself the good that God has for you--because only people whose lives have been turned upside-down by God can become Kingdom basement dwellers. The humblest acts of goodness have the greatest power. And the lowest floor of the building is where the real VIPs live. Will you step down and into the good things God is doing in the world?

“When did we become so accustomed to the world around us that we forgot to live by the world within us? The world that reflects the Creator we serve? The life that doesn’t fit in but stands out? This book will inspire you to stop blending and start standing. Allow the Holy Spirit to transform you from the inside out, and soon you will find yourself turning the world upside down.”
“Tim Ross is a contemporary incarnation and exciting example of God’s truth! His mission and ministry seem to follow none of the traditional rules and roads to fulfilling the call of God. In Welcome to the Basement Ross reveals the struggle on the pathway climbing down from the mountaintop—or rather the rooftop—of success to basement blessings. Prepare to tour the back stairs ‘down to the basement’ of the center of God’s will.”
“Tim Ross brings depth and authenticity to everything he does because it’s who he is. His ability to unpack Scripture and connect revelation to everyday life is transformational. Your heart will be touched, your head lifted, and your heart stirred by his bold declaration of the gospel.”
“Witnessing Tim’s level of consistency over the last two decades has been astonishing. His faithfulness to God and family in tandem with a knowledge of theology shine a light not only to people of the church but also to those outside the church. As you read Welcome to the Basement, you will be elevated to another level of knowing God, knowing your purpose, and knowing your assignment. You will learn that the way up is down—down to the Basement, a place of humility and vulnerability—before you reach a place of elevation.”
“Tim Ross embodies the seemingly paradoxical combination of authentic gentleness toward people and fierce revolutionary passion toward making a difference. This book will inspire readers to see that gentleness and passion aren’t optional extremes to choose between; instead, they are the necessary ingredients to trigger the real change our world desperately needs.”
“Every time we interact with someone, we make an impression on them. It’s easy to get so caught up in the details of our busy schedules that we forget that we are called to share the love of Jesus with every person we come in contact with. In Welcome to the Basement Tim Ross gives us a beautiful picture of how we can turn someone’s life upside down by showing them who Jesus is. For as long as I’ve known Tim I’ve admired his heart for all people and his passion to share the message of love and hope that Jesus brings. This book will give you practical ways to be a light to all those around you. I’m so excited for you to get your hands on this book, and I know you’ll be blessed as you read Welcome to the Basement.”
“Authors are everywhere, but voices are extremely rare. Tim Ross is an essential voice perfectly positioned for the day in which we live. And this book? Let’s just say your neighbors, friends, and family who don’t yet know Jesus will thank you for reading it. Welcome to the Basement is guaranteed to change the way you walk out your walk with Christ.”
