Discovering Your Natural Talents Book

NOW YOU CAN LOVE WHAT YOU DO AND DO WHAT YOU LOVE! You have certain innate abilities-talents God has given you-distinct from your achievements, knowledge, personality, interests, and values. These innate abilities just come naturally to you. You do them well without even trying. If you are like many people, however, you may be unaware of these abilities. So you may have made some life choices based on your ambitions rather than on your innate abilities-and spent a great deal of energy doing what doesn't come naturally. Discovering Your Natural Talents will change all that by helping you discover your natural, God-given abilities and put them to work in every area of your life. Most effective in groups, this process zeroes in on your communication, relational, functional, and leadership abilities-with the goal of helping you enjoy and make the most of your relationships, job, church work, hobbies, community responsibilities, and ministry contributions. "Knowing the power of its insight, I have used this material with employees, homemakers, educators, professionals, and leaders across North America."-Bruce McNicol, President INTEREST Ministries "Within a short time, understanding my talents gave me renewed confidence that there was, indeed, life after pro football. I was encouraged by the discovery of unrecognized strengths and expectant as a new direction began to unfold."-Jim Zorn, retired quarterback Seattle Seahawks "This is a must-read because it deals with the whole individual in a way most theologians don't address. The authors have unlocked the difference between natural talents and spiritual gifts."-Rich Hagenbaugh, senior pastor, Gateway Baptist Church "This book presents in a simple fashion one of life's most critical and perhaps difficult processes: the discovery and application of natural talents."-Tom Lyman, career and organization counselor, Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.
