review 1: If you agree with the premise that Christ's followers are called by God to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this world, this book goes a long way toward giving some concrete application. Wilkinson provides biblical insights into what is going on in heaven and how it relates to our work here on earth. He describes how Christ's followers who earnestly declare, "Here I am send me!" are led to approach certain people in need to dispense God's providence. This book has helped me to better recognize when God is nudging me toward an individual, to more fruitfully rely on Him to provide whatever is needed in the given situation, and to effectively transfer the credit for the blessing (or miracle) to God. I know from my own experiences that God often uses other people to show His ... morelove, grace, and wisdom. These experiences go a long way toward ushering people into God's kingdom. I expect to be reviewing and studying this book in the near future as step out in faith more and more to be God's delivery person.
review 2: What if you missed a miracle yesterday? Do you believe that if God still works miracles, He only works them through a select group of people-not you? Then it's time to discover the truth. You were created to help others experience personal miracles on a regular basis. You were born to accomplish God's work by His power. This book will touch your heart. How often can you find a book that will help you discover that God wants you to be in the miracle business? When Wilkinson suggested that we begin each day by praying for God to use us to do a miracle in someone's life, now a decision to set aside your agenda for God's agenda. Asking God to use you today, not sometime, but today requires you to demonstrate radical trust and sacrifice. Perhaps the reason we see so few miracles is that so few of us are truly available to God. You Were Born for This not only opens our eyes to miracles we may otherwise ignore, but it teaches us to actively accept God's requests for us to carry out His supernatural miracles in the natural world. The book's emphasis is on delivering miracles to others, not about asking for miracles for ourselves. Wilkinson provides a guide for inviting God to use oneself to deliver miracles. This is a good book about how God uses people to deliver his miracles. We tend to put God in a box which then squashes the things he can do through us. Written in an easy to read style, a reminder to be open to what God wants to do through all of us if we let him. I liked the practical ways the author gives to help others with where to start with being a miracle deliverer. I recommend this book if you want to discover ways to please God. I received this book through the Blogging for Books Program from WaterBrook Multnomah for my review. less

Excellent book. At the end did get a little preachy; but the first part did give me direction.
