About this title

Synopsis

God has a plan for you! It’s the plan you have been looking for to provide the total meaning and purpose of your life. With Christ’s direction and plan in your life, you can make a difference. You can have the power to bring change, to impart life that only comes from the heart of the Father. When you act on God’s plan, you are acting out of love, out of concern, out of compassion. You are putting the throbbing heartbeat of the Father into action. His heart beats for people—lost, hurting, sighing, dying humanity—people who are far away from Him. You are the key to bringing them home. You are the extension of the heart of the Father. Make contact. Touch. Extend your hand, your voice, your goods. Touching communicates “You matter to me!” Jesus touched people and they were changed. They were healed. They were freed. They left His presence different than when they came. You, too, are called to touch humanity, to inspire hope, and to bring change. You are uniquely created and commissioned by God to touch your world, and to leave it different than it was before.

About the Author

Tom Shanklin and his wife Susan are both part of the baby-boomer generation that sprung up in America after the end of the Second World War. Rejecting what they saw as the hypocrisy of mainstream society, they embraced the hippie lifestyle in the '70s and became involved in a life of drug use and experimenting with various forms of religion and spirituality. In 1977, they both had dramatic spiritual encounters and their lives were radically transformed by the living Christ. Jesus became real to them and He became the Lord of their lives. Their ministry was birthed out of that transformation along with a desire to see others come to Christ. Tom is motivated by a desire to see people reunited with God, healed (spiritually, emotionally, and physically), and filled with a sense of their divine purpose in life. He preaches in a simple and practical way that people of all ages, nations, and denominations can receive. Tom ministers within the United States as well as internationally encouraging people in their walk with God and exalting the message of the cross of Jesus Christ as the answer to their deepest need.
