God has given you gifts so you can fulfill His purpose for your life,
but if you're like a lot of people, you may not have recognized your
talents yet. Start asking God to show you something special about the
way He's made you.
To some people, He's given a very tender, compassionate heart, and some
He has wired to lead others effectively. Others, He has given a gift of
being able to communicate clearly, to teach, to make scientific
discoveries, or to write beautiful music. Only you can discover all the
dynamic gifts He's placed in you.
Become Authentically, Uniquely You because God is never going to help
you be anyone but yourself. He loves you just as you are. Let God use
you, with all your strengths and weaknesses, and transform you from the
inside out to do something powerful beyond your wildest dreams.
Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe offers daily practical and biblical advice for fulfilling your life’s vision. Based on his popular books The Principles and Power of Vision and The Principles and Benefits of Change, this 90-day devotional will help you to discover your God-given purpose in life, grasp the necessary keys for accomplishing your life’s dream, develop a specific plan for pursuing your vision, overcome obstacles, and embrace the benefits of change.
Each day’s devotional features teaching and encouragement, a motivating thought for the day, and a Scripture reading. Included are twelve principles for fulfilling personal vision and eight steps for discovering and developing your personal vision plan.
Your success is not dependent on the state of the economy, what careers are currently in demand, what the job market is like, or what people think you are capable of. You can learn time-tested principles that will enable you to fulfill your vision no matter who you are or where you come from. Whether you are a businessperson, a departmental manager, an employee, a homemaker, a student, or a head of state, Dr. Munroe explains how you can make your dreams and hopes a living reality.
You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life. You do not exist just to earn a paycheck. Revive your passion for living. Pursue your dream. Discover your vision—and find your true life.
What does it mean to be a Christian citizen of the United States
today? This book challenges the argument that the United States is
a Christian nation, and that the American founding and the American
Constitution can be linked to a Christian understanding of the
state and society. Vincent Rougeau argues that the United States
has become an economic empire of consumer citizens, led by elites
who seek to secure American political and economic dominance around
the world. Freedom and democracy for the oppressed are the public
themes put forward to justify this dominance, but the driving force
behind American hegemony is the need to sustain economic growth and
maintain social peace in the United States.
This state of affairs raises important questions for Christians.
In recent times, religious voices in American politics have taken
on a moralistic stridency. Individual issues like abortion and
same-sex marriage have been used to "guilt" many Christians into
voting Republican or to discourage them from voting at all. Using
Catholic social teaching as a point of departure, Rougeau argues
that conservative American politics is driven by views of the
individual and the state that are inconsistent with mainstream
Catholic social thought. Without thinking more broadly about their
religious traditions and how those traditions should inform their
engagement with the modern world, it is unwise for Christians to
think that pressing single issues is an appropriate way to
actualize their faith commitments in the public realm.
Rougeau offers concerned Christians new tools for a critical
assessment of legal, political and social questions. He proceeds
from the fundamental Christian premise ofthe God-given dignity of
the human person, a dignity that can only be realized fully in
community with others. This means that the Christian cannot simply
focus on individual empowerment as 'freedom' but must also seek to
nurture community participation and solidarity for all citizens.
Rougeau demonstrates what happens when these ideas are applied to a
variety of specific contemporary issues involving the family,
economics, and race. He concludes by offering a new model of public
engagement for Christians in the American Empire.

In a post-9/11 world, Christian. Muslim. Friend. lays out a path
toward authentic friendship between Christians and Muslims. Most
similar books either teach Christians to evangelize Muslims or else
downplay their Christian commitments. The author, who has lived and
worked among and befriended Muslims for more than fifty years,
offers readers a third way: holding onto the Christ-centered
commitments of their faith while cultivating peaceful friendship
with Muslims.
Maybe it's time to stop ignoring God, and start embracing him
instead . . .
