God loves us and has a unique blueprint for our life–but it’s up to us to find it and live it out. Mingling contemporary stories and biblical anecdotes with practical advice, Silvoso shows how God intervenes in human affairs today to transform people and nations. He also shares five critical paradigms for transformation that are pivotal for Discipling Nations, Reclaiming the Marketplace, Looking at Work as Worship, Becoming Salt and Light, and Eliminating Poverty. In these pages, readers will find extraordinary stories about the power of God working through those who discovered their specific purpose. Then, they’ll be challenged to transform themselves and, by doing so, transform their families, schools, businesses and nations. Silvoso encourages readers to aim high, knowing that God has entrusted them with great things. “God sees you as a nation transformer,” says Silvoso. He has faith in you!

I loved this book so much! I'm reading all of Ed Silvoso's books.
I haven't read many books from men as smart as Ed Silvoso and I have loved reading all of his books. I highly recommend every Christian (I don't care if you're a pastor, or a businesswoman, or a cashier). We all have to read this book to see how WE can change our homes, our neighborhoods, our cities, our states/provinces, our nations, and finally the world!
Why do we have such a small image of how we can be personally involved in God's redemptive and restorative mission on earth? This book really challenged me to think bigger, think discipleship, think impacting whole cities and think addressing systemic poverty that we shouldnt accept in our communities if we really want to see the kingdom of God become real in our midst. Lots of new and challenging ideas and practical real life stories from around the world. Let's not just go to work but let's go on mission where ever we are. Want to know how to do it. Read this book.
The Holy Spirit moved through this book. God revealed several new understandings stemming from Ed Silvoso's 5 paradigms for engaging in transformation. It was easy to understand as well as empowering.
