Monuments: Embracing God’s Desire and Design for Your Life

Rate this book
What if your life could become a living monument to the greatness of God?

In Monuments, John Sherrill invites you on a transformative journey to discover your unique, divinely-scripted purpose—not through worldly achievement, but by surrendering every moment, joy, and struggle to God’s greater story.

Drawing from his own family’s miraculous experiences and the faith-shaping trials that tested them, Sherrill reveals how even the most fragile existence can become a powerful testament to God’s faithfulness.

With raw honesty and biblical insight, Monuments challenges you to step off the sidelines and embrace a life that points unmistakably to Christ.

You’ll uncover the obstacles that hold you back—fear, inadequacy, and the wounds of your past—and learn how God qualifies those He calls, using ordinary lives to accomplish extraordinary things.

Through inspiring stories and practical wisdom, Sherrill shows that the most enduring monuments are built not by grand gestures, but by daily, faith-filled steps of Obedience.

Are you ready to leave behind comfort and comparison, and become a living stone in God’s eternal legacy?

Monuments is your invitation to stack stones of remembrance, endure the refining process, and let your life echo God’s glory for generations to come.
