As a man who is still processing the abrupt departure of my wife from our marriage of almost 17 years, it’s been a struggle for me to regain my bearings, to put myself back together and to try making some sense out of what happened to me … and to us. Through it all, there have been family members, friends, members of the mosque that I attend and co-workers who would tell me: “You’ll be alright,” “It’s her loss,” “You’re best days are ahead,” “God has a plan for you,” … and so forth. I sincerely believed them … and believe that they were sincere in what they said … but somehow those words still felt kinda “cookie cutter”-ish. The words were what I would expect those who cared for me to say. However, I desired something that offered more … specificity. More direction!

How do I get to being alright? How and when do I get to experience these best days? Will God be gracious and merciful enough to share His plans for me … with me?

Enter “Believe Bigger: Discover The Path to Your Life Purpose.” Now, I’ve been following Marshawn Evans Daniels since I first heard her in a radio interview back in 2011. I’m no stranger to her brilliance and how God has guided her into transforming the lives of entrepreneurs. However, because I’m not an entrepreneur, I wasn’t sure how what she offers could apply to my life. This book has erased such uncertainty.

From the Introduction where Marshawn writes “Entering your purpose will first require an exit. To unleash the greater you, GOD WILL DISRUPT YOU AND DISMANTLE YOU” {emphasis mine} I was ABSOLUTELY sure this book would DIRECTLY apply to my life. Even though the language of this book clearly demonstrates the target audience is women of faith, I didn’t allow that to cause me, as a Muslim man, to miss seeing the universality of the principles she teaches. I said “teaches” because make no mistake about it … opening to pages of “Believe Bigger” is opening the door to a classroom. Marshawn Evans Daniels is the instructor. And yes, there is “homework” to be done … rather LIFEwork.

This book is truly Heaven-sent. It is an answer to many prayers that I’ve prayed and I believe that others have prayed for me. I thank God that through this dynamic woman of faith, I’ve been equipped with tools that will assist me with the restorative work that remains to be done in my life. Through “Believe Bigger,” I am experiencing His grace and mercy. Onward towards my “Glory Zone.” Onward towards my purpose. ...more "
