About this ebook
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Don’t let your contradictions keep you from your calling.
“This book will challenge you and encourage you into a life characterized by prayerful dependence and decisiveness—your life will never be the same.”—Mark Batterson, author of The Circle Maker
Many of us are overwhelmed by the gap between our weaknesses and our dreams, between who we are and who God says we are meant to be. We feel unqualified to do God’s work or to live out the possibilities we imagine. But God has a way of using our weaknesses for good. In fact, God loves unqualified people.
This is a book about understanding your identity in light of who God is. It’s a book about coming to terms with the good, the bad, and the unmentionable in your life and learning to let God use you. It’s about charging into the gap between your present circumstances and your future dreams and meeting God there. After all, God can’t bless who you pretend to be. But he longs to bless who you really are: a flawed and broken person. Fortunately for us God is in the business of using broken people to do big things.

A must read! I love how Pastor Steve breaks down stories in the bible in such a relatable manner. You understand periods in your own life where you've had moments like Jacob, Peter or Paul. You see how God can use broken people despite how negatively we can view ourselves at times. You learn to work daily at changing your third word.

I am not a reader, I can't believe I finished a book! (As an adult)! Lol. This book is so inspiring, truthful, faith filled, and just down right amazing! The words have helped me so much already, and having it to look back on when I feel the need to say I'm (un)Qualified will be beyond helpful! Please take time to read this book

Please read this book. No matter what you're going through, God has a plan for you and wants you to know who you are to Him. I love this book because of its focus on self and who God says you are. It helps end the negative talk and gives you a positive perspective on who you truly are. "I am _____". This book helps you fill in your blank. Praise God!
