Let Your Life Count: Make a Difference Right Where You Are
Are you ready to discover what God can do through you?
You long to live with purpose, to touch the lives of others with God’s grace. But this just doesn’t seem to be the right time–maybe after your life is in order or when your schedule is more manageable or you land the right job or the kids leave home or…
If you want to serve God in a big way, writes author and speaker Donna Partow, the secret lies not in waiting for the perfect opportunity but in choosing to walk through each day fully surrendered to his purposes.
Describing herself as “living proof” that God can use absolutely anybody, Donna reveals the transforming truths and fresh perspectives that will allow God’s power to flow through your life naturally, defeating the attitudes that hold you back. God’s ability to work through your life is limited not by your flaws or your jam-packed schedule, she says, but by your willingness to be used.
Packed with powerful storytelling and insightful Bible teaching, Let Your Life Count will open your eyes and your heart to the countless ways God can use you–just as you are and right where you are–to answer someone’s prayers.
Includes a study guide designed for individual and group use.

Such a tremendous and thought provoking book.....such food for thought in a sense. I loved her passion within her writing as she writes it as it is; down to earth in a sense with the urgency that we need in this day and age. She talked about maintaining communication with the Lord as an ever present friend...as our guide and comfort. I especially enjoyed her "goat" story with actual goats;excellent parallels.
She talked about the importance of prayer,with a theme of making a difference with everything we do as eternity is at stake. We don't need to be taken up with wondering whether we are good enough to tell others that Jesus had led a perfect life yet paid the price for us to enter heaven as none of us would ever be "good enough" anyway. Seize the opportunities for God..time is short indeed as we desperately need to let our lives count!
She touched on some known figures who make quite a difference even though many times we often think that one can't do that.....the infamous ones certainly did as well as those wonderful ones who helped lead 1,000s to know the Lord with revivals and many praying... I hadn't known that Saint Patrick was actually English, not Irish!,...Interesting aspect.
So, a marvelous book overall...a keeper and one to gladly reccommend. I'd actually like to meet this author but most likely it will end up being in heaven one day :)
