You Were Born for This is the title and the title sounds wonderful but I sadly found this book by Bruce Wilkerson to be a lot of animated infomercial style hype, secrets to learn, steps to follow, hoops to jump - all in order to be used by God. Something seems askew. As I read Wilkerson's words describing how to make miracles happen, my stomach was turning. Isn't God in control of the miraculous and anything less than divine, contrived?
I understand a bit where he is coming from, wanting people to be open to being used by God *is* good and a right thing to seek but I found his delivery of this message poor and lacking the whole point of miracles being miraculous for the glory of God, not to make people feel good.
I was sent this book by the publisher and in no way did this alter my review.

Isn't he the same author of The Prayer of Jabez? Speaking of formulas...
Thank you for your review, Hannah. I appreciate your honesty.
I have enjoyed reading your homeschool tutorial and was wondering if you'd ever consider doing a tutorial on budgeting. I am recently married and my husband and I have tried to find sources for budgeting that fits our student (and yet married) lifestyle. I'd appreciate any advice or resources you'd be willing to give.
Frances - the blog moneysavingmom.com is an excellent source for budgeting advice
Great, thank you, brandy!
