Inside the book

Dancing for Quarters

Turn Your Need for Approval into a Legacy that Lasts

By Linda Masteller, with Michelle Gage, Kimberly Welch, Crystal Gornto, and Heather Joy Oathout

What happens when we stop measuring our worth by achievement and other people’s approval? Rod Masteller called that pursuit “dancing for quarters.” His journey toward a faith grounded in God’s love offers a different way to live.

Drawing on his sermons, journals, and family memories, this book explores the everyday choices that shape our relationships and what we leave behind. Through honest stories of love and hardship, readers are invited to:

  • Build deeper connections with the people they love.
  • Find hope through difficult seasons.
  • Let go of comparison and live with lasting purpose.
