John Bevere - X: Multiply Your God-Given Potential

John has done it again! Another in a great collection of classics, only this time, the reader takes center stage as X: Multiply Your God-Given Potential helps the reader uncover what so many are searching fortheir purpose. So many books talk about potential but few have the ability to take you, step-by-step, through a process that not only helps you discover what you were created to do, but what you can do today to move in that direction. John is a masterful teacher, and this book is a much-needed resource for every church discipleship ministry and for believers who know they were made for more.

I love this book! Author and friend John Bevere has written a masterpiece that is sure to inspire countless numbers of believers to step into their God-given design and potential. This possibility excites me beyond words. He shares from his own experiences how he stepped past his own skill level into a realm of grace, that he might see what God would do through him. And the outcome is brilliant.

John inspires us to push past our comfort zones into the realm of advancement, where we see the manifestation of Gods will on the earth through the power of multiplication. The insights and inspiration contained on these pages is worth the books weight in gold. I sincerely believe that X: Multiply Your God-Given Potential will contribute to the reformation we all long for. Let us steward our God-given potential with such faithfulness that, at the end of our days, we may stand before Him and hear Him say, Well done, good and faithful servant.

What God has placed within you is too valuable to remain buried and hidden by fear. John was catalytic in helping me discover and realize my potential. I know these truths will help do the same for you!
