From Crashes to Climbs: Gregg Bettis Inspires Readers with Faith and Adventure

At Streamline Books, we celebrate every author’s unique journey, and Gregg Bettis exemplifies what it means to embrace the adventure of storytelling. Gregg’s debut book, Crashes and Climbs: Stories from a Life Lived on the Edge, is more than a memoir—it’s a testament to faith, resilience, and living life fully.

A Journey Worth Sharing

Reflecting on his experience with Streamline Books, Gregg shares, “I am deeply, and I mean deeply, grateful as a first-time author to have had the opportunity to work with Alex, Will, Annika, Andrew, and the entire amazing Streamline team. I honestly didn’t know if I had it in me to write and publish my story. There would have been no book apart from their endless enthusiasm, encouragement, graciousness, creativity, and strategic guidance.”

For Gregg, writing Crashes and Climbs was an adventure of its own. “My experience from the beginning of this entire publishing journey with Streamline has been an adventure like no other! They’ve helped me make memories worth repeating and continue to support me far beyond what I expected.”

Impacting Lives Across the Globe

Since its release, Crashes and Climbs has touched lives in profound ways. Available on Amazon, Kindle, Audible, and in major and independent bookstores, the book has sparked meaningful conversations everywhere it’s read. Gregg recounts one particularly moving encounter:

“Eric approached me after several challenging downhill runs at Howler Bike Park. He shared how my book challenged him and led him to commit to giving God 100% of his life—not just 95 or 98%. Hearing that reminded me why I wrote this book in the first place.”

From airports to bike trails, Gregg hears stories of readers who’ve been deeply moved by his powerful narrative. As he says, “By God’s grace, I have been blessed to hear from people nearly every day who’ve read my book and shared how their lives have been impacted.”

The ROI of Living a Purposeful Story

Gregg’s success is evident in both the numbers and the lives changed. “Initially, we ordered 550 books and currently have less than 100 left. I’m preparing to reorder another 500 soon. Although I’ve done little speaking so far due to family and work commitments, I plan to increase local engagements—and the sky is the limit as the Lord allows.”

This momentum is supported by the launch of CrashesandClimbs.com, a hub for book signings, speaking availability, and branded products like shirts and hats.
