S. H. A. P. E. by Erik Rees (2006, Hardcover)

Eric Rees builds on Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life by identifying the Spiritual Gifts and helping the reader to determine which of those gifts they have and can build on. We use this book to teach seminars in our Church and help people to find their strengths and to serve in those strengths. Erik says just SERVE and find out what you like and what works for you not the other way around. This is a fantastic book and will help the reader identify their spiritual strengths/gifts and to encourage believers to step out in faith and use those gifts for God's kingdom.

Never received book, seller issued full refund. Don't think I'll be back since they sold me a book they obviously didn't have.

I believe in the power of this book. S. Represent Spiritual gifts, H is for your heartfelt A for your abilities from the day you were born until whenever you start this book. P is for your personality, and E for your experiences good or bad. This book is a very powerful books.

I bought this book to give it to a person to enrich their lives in the power of this book. Its a powerful book.

S.H.A.P.E. will change the way you view your God given gifts. Rees gives great outlines on how we can use our gifts for the Kingdom and why God gives us gifts in the first place. Who do these gifts benefit? What is my true purpose? Rees will share the answer to these questions and more...A MUST READ IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WHAT YOUR GIFTS ARE AND HOW YOU ARE TO USE THEM FOR GOD'S PURPOSE.

My Bible study group is doing a 12 week study from this book and it is great insight into who God made us to be. It is a a great insight into the gifts and abilities He the creater as freely given to each of His children. As we realize our gifts we will also realize His plan and purpose and His unique direction for our individual pathway to true fulfillment.

A great book at a fair price!

Thanks

Every single person on this earth was born for a particular reason. Each of us has a particular job to do while we are on this earth. Our unique personality, abilities, and life experiences were specifically chosen to support and guide each of us towards this unique life purpose.

S.H.A.P.E.: Finding & Fulfilling Your Unique Purpose for Life helps the reader pinpoint his or her own life direction. As this book is written from a Christian perspective, the life purposes center around how individuals can use their unique gifts and experiences to serve God's purpose while on earth. Nonetheless, I believe that the framework of the S.H.A.P.E. model would be equally useful for Non-Christian individuals in identifying and seeking their life purpose or even those of the general public looking for career advice.

I felt that S.H.A.P.E. was very well thought out and brought together in a very realistic, easy to use series of exercises. I also really appreciated the Better Together section, which encourages the reader to gain support from other individuals. Too often, we think that we have to do everything alone.
