The Man Who Makes A Difference: 10 Keys to a Life of Impact

by Jim George

Overview

The Bible is filled with amazing people, and Paul stands out prominently among them. What made him so effective, so influential? In this book, author Jim George explores how Paul took God’s priorities for life and made them his own. The result? He had a significant impact on everyone around him. From Paul we can learn how to…

• let God’s power work in and through us
• acquire discernment for making right decisions and choices
• pursue holiness that allows God to work through us unhindered
• stay faithful to God’s calling all the way to the end

Because it is God who enables us, these qualities are accessible to every believer. Readers will experience true fulfillment as they take steps toward making a difference in the workplace, at home, at church, and in their community.
