The Life-Giving Power of Honor: Unleash the Power that Can Transform Your World

Hidden in the instinctive cry of every human heart is a longing so powerful and all pervasive that it shapes every decision that we make, and fills every moment of our days. Placed there by the Creator Himself it is like a homing beacon that can't be ignored - it must be pursued. It is expressed in the 2 questions, "Who am I?" and "What is it that gives me value?" It is embedded in the cry, "Will somebody let me be me!"

In this powerful and impacting book Rob Packer shows how that cry of our heart can only be fully met in a life changing encounter with God, where religious lies have been peeled back and exposed for what they are, and we are introduced to the unshakeable love of the Father, to the life changing reality that we are truly celebrated, not just tolerated, and that we are given total permission to be who we were created to be!

As you read this book you'll find yourself on a journey of discovery that brings you into a place of healing and freedom - freedom that will not only affect you, but everyone around you. You'll not only find out who you are, and what it is that gives you value, but you will discover how to recognize that value in others and how to call them into their true identity.

You'll discover how to create the environment where relationships of all types can flourish and grow, and then you'll discover how that applies to the most significant relationship in the universe - the relationship that the whole created cosmos is groaning and waiting to see come into full expression.
