When I first selected this book, I knew it was going to be good, simply because the author, Max Lucado, has never disappointed me with any of his books.  I am amazed at how his books can even help my young adults retain Biblical truths in such deep spiritual connections.  His writings have always captured my attention, and theirs.  That's one thing I love to share with them, our love for books and love for the Lord.

I selected this book because I had been told it was a great book for graduates, but I always like to check into that for myself.  Boy, were they right!  This book condensed the most poignant ideas and thoughts from another great Max Lucado book, Cure for the Common Life.  I was surprised to find that this book was exactly what I needed at this point in my journey through life.  To be reminded that I had a purpose and that though I'm not like anyone else, that's what makes me so special to God.  He created me just the way I am, to do specific things that only I can do, in His hands.

As I found myself in a new position in ministry, this little book was a valuable tool in helping me to see the big picture, and to not lose sight of the fact that God indeed had created me for such a time as this.  I'm not just another person.  To God, I'm created perfectly to fit into the role He has for me.  I am certain that this will not be the last time I read this book.  This one is a keeper, so I can go back to it for a refresher of things I need to remember and retain as I work towards the goal He has set before me.  As someone who does not think great things about herself, this was a treasure I was thankful to find.
