Maximizing Your Effectiveness : How to Discover and Develop Your Divine Design

Every Christian wants to know, "What is God's purpose for my life?" Whether volunteering part time or involved in full-time vocational ministry, Christians frequently struggle to find satisfaction in their areas of service. This book helps readers match who they are--their unique spiritual gifts, passions, temperament, talents, and leadership style--with the ministry area for which God designed them. A practical guide, it takes dedicated Christians step by step through the process of reaching their full potential for Christ's kingdom. This new edition of Maximizing Your Effectiveness puts multiple tools, inventories, and worksheets in the hands of readers to empower them to minister according to God's unique design and purpose for their lives.
