Product Description

Here is a real message of encouragement showing how God is always setting us up for good things. Even though our daily domestic business seems to be as mundane – and even as fruitless as running after stubborn, self willed donkeys, God is preparing us to meet opportunities that will transform our lives.

A R Bernard, founding pastor of the 30,000-member Brooklyn Christian Cultural Centre, president of the Council of Churches of New York City and with ten years in a New York banking career has a powerful message. Like Saul, we are chasing our donkeys everyday; but little do we know…

While we are chasing our donkeys, opportunities occur that breakthrough and fulfil our purpose in life. While we continue chasing our donkeys with a prepared and open mind, our talents and abilities will match the human needs God puts before us.

Even just a problem solved, Bernard shows, can become an opportunity; it’s about your outlook on life and your preparedness to see what you could catch even when chasing your daily donkey! The book’s four sections: Created for Purpose, Prepared for Purpose, Equipped for Purpose and Directed to Purpose will show you that God created you for the important work he’s leading you toward and waiting patiently for you to keep p your end of the bargain - simply to trust and obey.

Publishers's Description

Your purpose is found and fulfilled in the middle of life's everyday, rather ordinary events.

Our days are filled with seemingly insignificant activities. We "chase donkeys" at work and at home while wondering, "Why am I here?" and "What should I be doing?" Pastor A. R. Bernard says God uses these mundane activities of our lives to prepare us for and direct us to our purpose.

But God not only designs and wires us for a unique and specific purpose, he decides what that purpose will be. He decides it and we fulfill it in a day-by-day discovery directed by him.

In the book's four sections - Created for Purpose, Prepared for Purpose, Equipped for Purpose, and Directed to Purpose - we learn will learn that: God created me for a reason; He has important work for me to do; He's leading me toward that work; He's waiting patiently for me to arrive at the intersection of my talents and his plans; it's my responsibility simply to trust and obey.

A.R. Bernard left a ten-year banking career to be founding pastor of the now 30,000-member Christian Cultural Center and president of the NYC Council of Churches, representing 1.5 million Christians. In 2008 he was New York's most influential clergyman. His radio and TV shows broadcast throughout the US.
