EXCELLENT book. I am doing a Bible study online with a couple other ladies, started out as an ikn home study, but I'm now working full time, another is in school fulltime so we decided this would be the best way for us to 'meet'. All are really getting into it.

This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to get serious with God and see Him at work. I'm reading it for the second time and making notes. My small group is going to study it together. It has information that can change your life! A must read for all Christians!

Have you ever prayed, "God, please show me how to put Your Kingdom 1st" (Matt.6:33), or "Please let my life be fruitful for You"(John 15), or "Please let me live that abundant life You talked about, this can't be all there is" (John 10:10). God has revealed to this author the missing ingredients we've yearned to be taught to enlighten and empower us for the true walk with God we and our worlld so desperately long for! I just ordered 8 copies. Must read!

Galations 5:25 "Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the spirits leading in every part of our lives." In the book, You Were Born For This, you'll learn to recognize God's gentle nudges to be a blessing to others!
This is a book that teaches you how to be open to God, how to listen for His prompts and or detours, and then most importantly how to act on it. So much of the Christian world these days is all talk and this book teaches you to take notice and the miracles God does and jump in and be a part of them.
One of the best examples of how the author makes our role in delivering miracles to others seems very doable is his encouragement to start using a "God Pocket." Yeah, it's a weird name, but those odd labels are part of how he gets his teaching across ("bumps," "nudges," and "cues" are just some of the steps you'll read about).
The "God Pocket" helps to give legs to our desire to see God meet the financial needs in others' lives, and keeps us from simply having the "want to." Practical ideas like the "God Pocket" (Wilkinson's name for money kept in our wallet or purse that is designated for being used in a money miracle for people we are sent to by God) enable us to actually do what we want to do.
Without a doubt, this book was one that I'm glad I read and will more than likely read again and again. It has motivated me to live with my eyes open, looking for people God wants to send me to. I have no doubt you will have the same reaction, too.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review as a part of their Blogging for Books program. Ranking my review helps me get more books to read!

I like the way he writes. He opened my eyes and mind to see and know how important our hands are to God tohelp others To be able to say "Here I am Lord, send me" and watch how God will use you...and then know that God is there to help you be part of a blessing or a miracle for someone else.

A well written book describing the everyday encounters we have with people who may need to know about Jesus, and/or need encouragement, or just need a hug. Sometimes we need a reminder that these "nudges" are God's way of getting our attention so He can use us for His purposes.

Praise God, praise Him without ceasing, amen & amen!!Any one who is a "true" born again (Christian) Christ Follower should buy this book and read it; and then, read it again; and then, read it again; and then, read it again.If the Lord does not start moving in your life and using you to deliver miracles as His agent, then something is wrong!!! Recommit to the Lord, come forward and receive the Lord Jesus as you Lord and Saviour, repent of your sins, get baptized - then, read it again!!This book is a miracle for all of us Christ Followers. God will move in your life and, God will use you as His very own messenger and delivery person of miracles if you will allow Him to.This book shows you "how", this book helps you "see". Buy it, read it; and then, read it again, and again...As I am and always will be, in love with and in service to, my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ,Patricia, Bond ServantSt. Marks, Florida

When I first looked at the title it stretched my theological belief. Actually I rebelled against the idea of a life with predictable miracles. But when you read the book everyday miracles take on a different look then what most of us are taught about the supernatural miracles of Jesus. In this book we are taught that miracles are more than of the supernatural kind. There really are everyday miracles - but you will have to read the book to find out how. A guaranteed life changer.

This book is written in plain English; not "Christianese". This makes it an easy read but, more importantly, if just 10% of God's people would follow just 10% of the author's principles, we would experience a mighty wave of miracles and revival across this land.I highly recommend that you read this book and put into practice it precepts.

I had heard about this book and asked my husband to "gift" it to me for Christmas. He said to order it. I did and have started reading it and putting it into practice. Although I have yet to finish the book I have put the first 3 keys into practice and have seen it work! Our God is awesome! It is an honor and privilege to be used by Him.I am anxious to finish the book and continue to be open and alert to be used by Him!
