Live by Design, Not by Default

A Study of both Old and New Testaments shows that Godly men and women who lived effective lives all had in common certain habits of thought and activity. First, they all had a personal encounter with God that changed their lives. They experienced a new beginning which gave them a new life as well as a new perspective on life. These same men and women went on to 'make history'. Their lives had impact for good and for God in varying ways and to varying degrees. Personal Effectiveness is about the thought patterns and life habits of people like this.

Jim Dunn argues that it is the active presence or absence of these thought patterns and habits that will either help or hinder us as we seek to become effective as Christians at every level of human experience. The key purpose of the book is to invite the reader to examine their faith and life from a fresh perspective with a view to developing their relationship with Jesus Christ and deepening their commitment to His Gospel.Read less
