You Were Born for This: Seven Keys to a Life of Predictable Miracles

If ever someone needs encouragement, or a refresher on what our purpose should be, Bruce Wilkinson's "You Were Born For This" is a wonderful guide on how to deliver miracles and be a blessing to other people. Bruce Wilkinson believes there are 7 keys to unlocking miracles and they are: *The Master Key *The People Key *The Spirit Key *The Risk Key *The Money Key *The Dream Key *The Forgiveness Key For a detailed explanation of each key, you must purchase this book. Wilkinson made a believer out of me when he brought up examples from his own life when he responded to God's nudges. In one instance he met a man who needed help in his marriage and a person told him "he needed to make his bed" it was an important truth and the key to saving his marriage-really profound. Of course, I was feeling a bit down when Bruce Wilkinson mentioned having a God Pocket. This is money set aside to bless others with- these are not tithes. I was thinking, "Well gosh! I don't have so much money coming in to set aside for tithes, bills, and God's Pocket Bruce!" Yet as I read on, I remembered that it is but a guide on how to deliver miracles and it is a good goal to reach. He even mentions that it can be five dollars you are to bless someone with. What an awesome book and it will encourage everyone.

I loved this book! "You Were Born For This" is a clearly understood, practical, motivating, uplifting approach to partnering with God in a miracle. The book has short chapters, it is not a heavily detailed book that gets weighed down in methods and ideas. The book is inspiring and motivating to want to be used of God in a powerful way in order to be a miracle to someone.

I was skeptical when I first read about this book. I wasn't sure how there could be a formula for making miracles happen. But after reading it and implementing what he outlined, I have seen a difference in my life. But I have to say that what I loved most about this book was that it wasn't "how to get miracles for myself" but rather "how to help other people receive the miracles they so desperately need". This book should be on your "must read" list.

You Were Born for This by Bruce Wilkinson is a intriguing follow-up to the best-selling Prayer of Jabez. Wilkinson wants readers to know that the Age of Miracles didn't end with the New Testament. Miracles are happening every day all around us, and God wants us to be a part of them. He has countless more miracles He intends to create, but He wants to act through each of us. Wilkinson uses powerful tales of miracles he's been blessed to be a part of to illustrate the five points of being a Miracle Worker. Of course, he keeps the emphasis on God and the working of the Holy Spirit in us, but it is vital for us to open our eyes to the possibilities around us and make ourselves available to His call. Wilkinson paints a beautiful picture of a world in which we are all on a mission from God seeking to serve each other; it sounds a lot like Heaven on earth to me! The book is perfect for small group or personal study.

I love this book because it is one that you will not want to put down. A book filled with hope and inspiration, refection and personal challenge. I have read all of Bruce's books and can easily say he is a great teacher of Christian principles. What I learned the most from his book is how to be a unique, personal conduit for good in helping another fellow man. I have received many miracles in my lifetime and have witnessed others being blessed by someone's generosity towards them. But to experience being a part of a divine appointment for someone else and seeing them reap a blessing by bestowing seeds of kindness, meeting physical and emotional needs, plus uplifting and encouraging another person is truly a wonderful feeling of fulfillment and purpose as to why we're here and what's life all about really. I could relate to the everyday miracles shared in Bruce's writings. This book will inspire you as you read about real stories of how just one person can make a difference in someone's life. What grabbed my heart was the simple outline and guidance on "how to" go about meeting another person's need. What makes this particular book a winner is the dynamic duo force of universal identity (I have a great need) and the application (God's work through you). 1 need + your part = a miracle... 5+ stars! I highly recommend this book to you! Galations 5:25 "Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the spirits leading in every part of our lives." In the book, You Were Born For This, you'll learn to recognize God's gentle nudges to be a blessing to others!
