How to Reach Your Full Potential for God

How to Reach Your Full Potential for God by Charles Stanley is an example of what you can achieve if you relinquish your life to the power of God. This book discusses what Christians can accomplish if they are sold out to God and seek His will. Dr. Stanley explains the potential of spiritual gifts, how to identify them, and stumbling blocks that may prevent them from coming to fruition. A lack of understanding about your spiritual gift can reflect a disconnection with God. This book challenged me to examine my relationship with the Lord. Dr. Stanley points out that a “cloudy relationship” with God, can be an obstacle in discovering my spiritual gift. This book encouraged me to seek intimacy with my Savior and to place my focus on seeking His will. At the right time in that relationship, my spiritual gift will be revealed to me on His terms. Dr. Stanley’s book inspires Christians to take a closer walk with the Lord and to reside with Him, not visit.
