I have known David Hoffman for years. I have always found his life story compelling and encouraging. As David shares his story in this book, he lists the principles by which he has chosen to live. I've always believed and taught that when confronted with a decision, if you can't apply one of your chosen life principles, don't make the decision. David knows well his chosen life principles. He consistently lives by them, and the subsequent success in his life is obvious. I hope the readers of this book make many of these principles their own. If so, they will be stronger and better in life as they do.

David's book, Relationships over Rules, is a great reminder that putting value in relationships will carry you much further than our society tends to indicate. His personal story is a shining example of this, and as a friend of David's for many years, I can confidently say that his success is directly tied to his relational equity.

Why do so many people feel more alone than ever before? Fear, social media, and the instant-gratification culture have made it easy to devalue personal connections, patience, and focus.
Relationships over Rules shows how these very concepts are the antidote for the modern condition, offering a framework that's easy to understand, implement, and maintain in your everyday life. David's journey to find his place in family, business, and community is a wonderful story of adversity, self-discovery, passion, and perspective.
Relationships over Rules is a joy to read!

Not all of you reading this book have had the privilege of knowing David personally, but by the time you turn the last page, you will want to, and to some extent, due to his great storytelling ability, you might think you do know him. As I read Relationships over Rules, I felt like we were grabbing a cup of coffee, catching up on life and business like we try to do every few months. David beautifully weaves his personal journey of life with timeless life principles and a few original tricks of the trade that have made him into the successful kingdom-minded man, husband, and father he is today.
Josh Blackson, COO and pastor, Elevation Church
I've seen David Hoffman's words in practice. He was my friend for eight years before I became his real estate client. As a well-served client and a well-nurtured friend, I have witnessed David living out the principles for relational success he explains in Relationships over Rules. You don't want to miss the compelling story of his difficult youth or the intensity of purpose and insight that grew out of it and into the light of Jesus Christ.
