Building Your Power: Discovering and Living Out God's Call on Your Life

The third of the books on a biblical understanding of power is built on the thesis that every human being has been created and called by God to address a particular pain of the world. Every human being has been created to serve God by serving humanity in a particular way - and our hearts will remain restless and our lives without focus until we discover and carry out that purpose for which God brought us to life! This book will explore ways Christians can discover and then act upon their vocation or "calling" in life. The third book of the "Power" triology will be published in 2013.
