Who You Are

About the Book

One day we will all know the truth about our lives and what it means, but it was never meant to be a secret. The bible clearly says that we should not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Then we will be able to test and approve what God's will is for us. Yes, God has a will for us right now, in this life, but first we must boldly seek it.

Wouldn't it be great to start discovering right now what God's will is for you, only to find out He has been directing your life all along but you just didn't know it. Most of us think that we are in this world to get as much pleasure out of it as possible, which is what life is really about right, wrong! Life is so much bigger than what most of us see or touch. In order to find out the true meaning of your life and who you have become, you must stare into the eyes of reality and spirituality and speak what you see.
