- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this book!
My husband was given this from his counselor and I had to finish reading it. I finished it in two days while caring for my three very young children which hasn't happened like EVER! I kept anticipating the opportunities I was able to continue reading it. ??
This played a huge role in helping me stay more grounded after my fourth child than the three previous times I had gotten postpartum psychosis. And if anyone is familiar with that hurdle of postpartum complications then you'll understand! Totally recommend this as a top 3 when it comes to books!

Dedication
This book is dedicated to my son Caleb, because of the inspiration he has been in his life. You are my seed in the earth. You represent the bloodline of our forefathers and mothers. This publication, all its wisdom and all that it may hold, is meant for you and anyone with ears to hear its message. You have gone through many things in the past years and have come through resiliently. You have been my hope, joy, source of strength, and motivation to keep going through times when the only thing I wanted to do was to give up and quit living. You have the greatest capacity for love and forgiveness of anyone I have ever met.

The cover photo was taken on a day I was traveling to help a family member with an awful emergency. It also happened to fall on my birthday. Feeling saddened, frustrated, and hopeless during this dreary rainy day, I was crying out to the Lord because I didn't see any way out of the dilemma. A few minutes later I looked up to the sky and saw this wonderful double rainbow. I had never heard of anyone one seeing the end of a rainbow let alone having on reflect back to you. Any yet there it was along with a second one above it. I could hear the Lord speaking to me promising that everything was going to be okay and that this situation would not result in an utter catastrophe. He would use this for our good. I was immediately filled with His peace knowing I could put my trust in Him. I have a copy of this photo on my fridge at home to remind me God keeps His promises!

About the Author
Chapter 1
The Beguilement
When God created man, he gave him life with his breath, ruach, (Greek word meaning the breath of God
) which gave us life. After man’s fall (Adam and Eve,) Jesus died and with his blood cleansed us so that we might have eternal life through our faith in Him. Then God, with his Rhema (Greek word used in the New Testament meaning a deep and personal word for the believer from the word of God) gave believers deliverance, healing, and purpose.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10 NKJV)
How do you know if you are walking in the fullness of your calling? Misery is a symptom of the presence of a lie in your soul. It’s that little piece of metal that throws off your life’s compass. When you have a flaw in your thinking, your direction-finder
is not focused on a true heading. It is the tactic of the enemy to keep you from having maximum impact in the earth, from fulfilling your life’s purpose and destiny. How do you know if your direction-finder
is off? Misery, you keep getting stuck in misery.
A miserable person can be caught up in anger, frustration, despair, anxiety, fear, or just simply not feeling at all, remaining almost emotionally frozen. That misery may be in several forms: nagging self-doubt, fear of failure or not measuring up, despair that you will never amount to anything, or a seething pot of boiling rage ready to spill over at the slightest provocation. You want to be effective and to have the maximum impact God has planned for you, but how?
Finding your way to maximum impact for the Kingdom of Heaven is a simple process, but difficult to accomplish if you don’t know how. Maximum Impact can only be attained if you know who you are in Christ and have light in your soul. The soul – the mind, will, and emotions of man – is the holder of beliefs about who we are and who God is. If we are flawed there, then our walk, or direction-finder
will be flawed, off true north; and we will not be able to hear and see clearly to find our purpose and direction for our lives.
We can still have impact, but not fully the way God intends us to be. If we are filled with truth, the enemy has no pull on us. Eph. 6:11 says, Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
(NKJV) And V 14, "Stand therefore,
