About The Book

In Moving Forward: A Stickman’s Journey for Hope and Meaning, Brig Sorber, one of the original movers (stickmen, if you will) of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, the largest moving franchise is North America, gives hope to those who feel they do not have the pedigree, diploma, or energy to move forward.

Believing that wealth was the true key to happiness, Brig Sorber powered his way to financial success only to find it an empty and shapeless place. After a heavy bout of despair, Brig turned to his faith which had been shelved like a dusty old book. He sensed God asking him, “are you interested in a new approach?” Having nothing to lose, he gave his life to Christ and, in doing so, gave Him the business as well. Over time, Brig realized that he (like everyone) is greatly loved by God.

In Moving Forward, Brig gives us an inside look into his very average life as God unearths truth, knowledge, and lessons from a past full of hurt and pain. Drawing from biblical principles and past mistakes and hardships, Brig shows us that we can stop believing the lies others tell us—and the lies we tell ourselves—that we are not worthy or capable of a more meaningful life. Instead, we all have the ability to move forward and make something great of our lives—if we are willing to trust in God’s direction and use the specific talents he has given to each of us.

“From the mind of a college dreamer, the determination of a marketplace warrior, and the heart of a humble servant . . . Brig Sorber. Moving Forward is a magnificent reference tool for how and why you should consider building your business on principles much bigger than yourself—ones that encourage alignment and celebrate achievement. Enjoy this blessing!”

– PHIL STONE, play-by-play/host, ESPN and NBC Sports

“Per Brig’s own admission, he’s never taken a single leadership or management course. His recipe for success? Having a ‘true north,’ using life’s challenges as the ultimate classroom, and investing in others so they can make something of themselves. These are just a few salient reasons why Two Men and a Truck has become one of America’s premier corporate success stories.”

– DAVID MEYERS, president of CBMC-USA

“Brig does a tremendous job of keeping hope alive by demonstrating the courage of his convictions, by painting positive images of the future, and by trusting the abilities of others. Moving Forward will enable you to find the will and the way to aspire to greatness—a testimony to the power of the Holy Spirit.”

– DR. MARIO ENZLER, former Swiss Guard, dean of Cameron School of Business, University of St. Thomas, Houston, TX
