Ever wonder whether God will use you to make a difference?
Escape from this uncertainty and discover your divinely directed destiny. As followers of Christ, we have a deep need to know our God-designed purpose and live it out. We want to know what He desires our lives to reflect in terms of character, motivation, relationships, and action. Doug Nuenke, U.S. president of The Navigators, reminds us that our purpose as believers is to be recipients and conduits of God's grace and transforming work in our lives. We are made to not only follow Christ but help others do so as well.
Making Waves paints a clear picture of what a grace-filled life is: experiencing God's goodness and power and passing it along to others, like a ripple that grows into a wave. Over time, this wave of grace can cascade to impact families and communities, even crossing oceans and national boundaries.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, Making Waves will help you more fully experience life according to God's design and pass along the reality of Jesus to others.
