In the engaging style that made his book The Prayer of Jabez popular with millions around the world, Bruce Wilkinson is asking more life-changing questions: Why are experiences of the miraculous so rare for most people? What if God wanted you to experience them on a regular basis? And what if ordinary people like you and me are invited to partner with God to deliver them to others? In You Were Born for This, you will discover that all God needs for a miracle mission is a willing servant. No special credentials required. You will learn how to make a lifestyle of predictable miracles your new normal and how to motivate others to do the same. Because when people ask God to do His work through them by His supernatural power, things change. Relationships change. Finances, families, and spiritual lives change. Soon the extraordinary becomes the everyday and God showing up is no longer something to wish for–it is an expected part of the life God intended for you to experience and enjoy.

"This book is about miracles and role that everyday people play in them or could play in them. Never thought of that before. So it was eye opening in that respect and substantially meaningfull, inspirational. The whole concept sounds so easy, though I'm sure it's not quite as easy as it sounds. This book for me certainly creates an awareness of the needs of others and the possibilities for creating miracles. Thank you Donna for the recommendation."

" Talks about how we are born to make miracles happen for people. "
— Caleb, 2/14/2014" Super Christian bent how you as an individual can make miracles happen to others by unlocking the money key (you give money to others by carrying around God's money in your wallet and giving to a person in need), the dream key (helping people understand what their life dream is and somehow helping them follow it), the forgiveness key (convincing people to forgive someone in the past so that they can become free again and live). Interesting and somehow quite unbelievable how many people he helped. "
— Hfilipcic, 2/9/2014" Not the best-written book you'll ever read, but it did have some decent food for thought, for me especially in the chapter on life dreams. If nothing else, it stretches one's thinking about what miracles are and what kind of experiences we should be making ourselves available for. It also carries an ongoing theme of opening one's eyes to life's adventure. "

— E'yen, 12/21/2013" I've personally experienced hundreds of miracles and agree that it is amazing that more people don't trust God to lead them to deliver and to receive miracles.
