From the Inside Flap
If God made a To-Do List for you, tailored to your God-given talents and skills that can be used to make a difference in the world, what would be on the list?
Each chapter of this useful and stirring guide offers examples of the good God does in the Bible; sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant stories of people making a difference by following the ways of God; and suggestions on how you can become God's partner in the ongoing work of creating the world and repairing its brokenness. You will discover that you have a unique contribution to make, and your own special way of being an angel and doing God's work on earth.
