Do the Thing – Gospel Centered Goals, Gumption, and Grace for the Go-Getter Girl
By Rebecca George (Esther Press, April 2023) Book includes access to 6 Video Sessions.

This post includes: My Book review, a sponsored book giveaway and Q & A with the Author.

BOOK REVIEW:

Do you feel the Lord calling you to a particular area of ministry? Do you have a gift or talent that God is calling you to develop or fan into flames? Or perhaps a project or a creative idea has been stirring in your heart for a while but fear and perhaps a lack of clarity for the next step is causing you to put off pursuing that one thing?

Within the pages of her brand new, Gospel centered book, Rebecca George offers Biblical Truth, personal testimony, a practical guide, an encouraging manifesto and a godly way to view our calling rather than through the worldly lens of success and achievement.

Rebecca reminds us that taking the next step, even when we don’t know exactly where we’re going to end up, is what faith is all about. In her sweet and conversational way, the author guides us in combatting several road blocks that may deter many of us. These include but are not limited to: perfectionism, comparison and fear of failure.

Believing the lie that I was worthless and would never amount to anything in life, I adopted the “I will never have anything of value to offer to anyone” mindset when I was very young and the fear of failure became my number one obstacle to overcome in life. But I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God was calling me to serve in women’s ministry. He deposited a burning passion in my heart to see women fall deeply in love with Jesus and be set free from the lies and bondage of the enemy.

As Rebecca reminded me in this lovely book: my part is to be obedient and I can leave ALL the results to God. He would never call us to ministry work and then let us fall flat on our faces. Instead, He invites us to come alongside Him and partner with Him as He Himself advances His Kingdom forward through us, all in His grace, His timing and always for His glory.

With thought provoking reflections and practical steps to help you to move forward into your God given calling, this book will both motivate and edify you in your calling. Rebecca blends storytelling with Biblical insight to encourage us to pursue and fan into flames the passion stirring in our souls.

This book helps us to:

  • See our gifts and talents from God’s perspective.
  • Prioritize goals, move forward with gumption and grace.
  • Maximize our passions in the work we do every single day.
  • Actively partner with God to serve Him and love others.
  • Overcome negative thought patterns.
  • Brainstorm, develop, and create with confidence.
