In a world of hero worship and mimicry, Mark Batterson writes a book that challenges the reader to be the person that God intended them to be, not a replica of someone else. This is the first book of Mark’s that I’ve read cover to cover. I’ve used and recommended some of the Small Group materials based on some of his previous writings. It will not be the last I read.
Mark takes the reader through a journey of self-reflection by holding up the biblical account of five defining moments in the life of David. By looking not just at the wins in David’s life but also some of the failures, Mark gives the reader a perspective that God uses all our experiences to shape us into who he has created us to be… as long as we submit ourselves to the process.
This book is an easy read and won’t take an average reader very long to get through. At times, it may be harder to put down than to get through. The book includes a Discussion Guide so you can easily use the book as a study guide for your small group. I would recommend the book for those who desire to fulfill their God-desired destiny.
You can order your copy of the book directly from Multnomah; Amazon in paperback or for your Kindle; Barnes & Noble in paperback or for your Nook; Christian Book Distributors in paperback.
