Book Review

If you dream to leave a legacy, change culture or be part of building God’s Kingdom; you are one of millions, but for most people it is only a dream. This compact, powerful, no-nonsense approach book, will abolish everything that has previously held you back, whether that be lack of support, money, knowledge or time. Now is the time to step out into your calling and explode into the marketplace, the community and the church. This is more than an information book, but will transform you into a happier, richer and more effective person.

Journaling Bee’s Review 


Practical easy to follow advice

Full of practical insight, with Bible-based scriptural support. Points out how we, as humans, make even simplistic things difficult expecting more from our “worldly ” values instead of focusing on strengthening our eternity. Quick and easy read.

Note: I read the Kindle version.

Highlights

Chapter 1 – Find your Calling

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

Chapter 2 – Do the Possible, Watch God do the Impossible

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.  2 Corinthians 12:9-11

Chapter 3 – Be Careful what you Think

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

Chapter 4 – Know your strengths

Chapter 5 – Get Wisdom

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.  James 1:5

Chapter 6 – Drop the Spiritual Baggage

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.  But do this with gentleness and respect.

Chapter 7 – Be Content, Yet Ambitious

Ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  Matthew 7:7

Chapter 8 – Learn About Money

If you elevate any good thing above God then you will run into problems.

Chapter 9 – Get Financially Free

Chapter 10 – Run a Good Business (i.e., enterprise, project, ministry, influence)

Never forget your first love, and keep Christ on the throne and in His rightful place.

Chapter 11 – Join a Network

If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together.

Chapter 12 – Live for Eternity

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  Matthew 6:19-21

The greatest way you can leave a legacy and have an eternal purpose is by loving God and loving people.

For those of you who love to read, I am sharing a quick review of some of the Christian-based books I have read and Bible studies I have participated in, both personally and in a group. These are my favorites. 

I always appreciate others’ input and suggestions when trying to decide on my next reading project, so I hope this will be helpful when you are trying to decide on your next read and/or study. 

These reviews are based on my opinion, and I was not compensated in any way for reading them or reviewing them.
