This book shines the spotlight on these areas of our lives with what scripture has to say about them. It is all too easy to sit back and say that God has not called me to go or to give up everything for Christ's sake but do we really seek God's will in these areas? Many have bought into a comfortable Christian message that conforms to our desires, our focus on achieving the American dream with our time and talents rather than pursuing to become more like Jesus. I think anyone who reads this book will be changed and have a new perspective on the contrast of simply living out the comfortable American Dream Christianity versus following what God's will is for our lives. Take a big step in your faith and read this book. Meditate on the scriptures that it's based on, apply it and see how God changes you.Belgiehttp://born2beperfect.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
