Saturday, June 30th, 2012 Hi, Book Travelers! After a brief hiatus, we're ready to charge forward with the vision God has given us. When you are called to accomplish something, you cannot see it as a burden. As a matter of fact, the world is counting on you to fulfill your calling. There is literally a void created when you're not in your place, and when you do not seize the precious moments provided by God. We feel an amazing sense of renewed purpose for the Book Club at ALM. You may be curious as to the source of inspiration after such a long time. Why now, after so many months, you may ask? Well, there's this book, of course! If you're stuck in a rut or are having trouble finding joy in doing what you do, then it's a must that you get this in your hands as soon as possible. It's called "The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success" by Andy Andrews. We've been motivated by this author before with the book "The Noticer", and this next book takes it to the next level. After reading this book, a few things have become clear. It's NOT by coincidence that we each have certain gifts and talents. Neither is it by happenstance that trials, problems and setbacks come against us. What we must never do is see who we are and what we do as insignificant. The purpose we've been assigned to is designed to transform lives, bring blessing to others, and to bring us to a place of wealth for generations to come. But it's up to US to develop certain mindsets and habits (everything our pastors have been ministering recently) that will bring those things into fruition. Get focused, get into position for God's best, and watch God do what He's already ordained in your life. "The Traveler's Gift" is a must-read.
