We live in the greatest hour of history. God is moving in the nations of the earth in an unprecedented way. At the same time, a generation is yearning to know their purpose. You are a crucial part of Gods plan for the nations of the earth. Therefore, it is critical to be walking in His call and to be aligned with His will for your life. Live Before You Die is a road map for every believer ready to discover what God has for him and to participate in this great hour of history. In an inspiring yet practical way and with incredible insights and revelation, Daniel Kolenda tackles the questions we all have when seeking our purpose. Communicating in an engaging and motivating style, Kolenda calls believers to give themselves with total abandonment to Gods call. This book is not for the fainthearted; it is a radical call of wholehearted consecration. God requires your entire life, but it is in that act of complete surrender that you discover your purpose. Your life was meant to change the course of world history. Anything less is below what God has for you.

Live Before You Die will prove to be a great blessing to all who read it. In over fifty years of ministry I have discovered that the question I am asked the most relates to the will of God in an individuals life. Daniel Kolenda has put into one book all that genuine seekers need to know concerning Gods will for their lives. His inspired writing explains this in unique simplicity and spells out the way to enter into, enjoy, and do Gods will. I unreservedly recommend this book to the body of Christ, young and old. Be prepared for a life-changing read.

Daniel Kolenda understands how to live and walk in the will of God! He was in the center of Gods will as a student in our ministry school thirteen years ago, and he is in the center of Gods will today as he leads millions of people to Jesus around the world. The practical wisdom in this book will help you discover Gods awesome will for your own life and will enable you to walk it out with passion. Who knows what the Lord has planned for you?

Daniel Kolenda, as many authors, has crafted an expression much like an artist. This work is not a pencil sketch that is abstract and without definition. His new book reminds me of a work on a canvas where every stroke of his pen creates a new burst of color that expresses his soul. Every chapter further releases what he feels he wants us to know about the call of God and His will for our lives.
As a graduate of Brownsville Revival School of Ministry Daniel Kolenda has been on my radar for a while. I believe he is emerging as a voice that will help define evangelism in the twenty-first century.

Daniel Kolenda has a fervent passion to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and a true call to evangelism. His life and ministry reflect the powerful dynamic of a man who yields to the voice of the Holy Spirit. I have known Daniel Kolenda for a number of years and have witnessed firsthand how he has abandoned himself to go into all the world and preach the gospel, calling multitudes to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
In this powerful and yet conversational writing Daniel Kolenda reveals the heart of God toward those who will hear and obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. With great insight and an expressive authority, this book will lead you to the place of understanding the eternal purpose of answering the call of God upon your life and ministry.

I cant think of a more relevant topic than the will of God! So many people spend their entire lives with the constant insecurity of not knowing Gods will for them. As a young man who has obviously done well at discovering Gods plan for his life, Daniel Kolenda is the right person to write on the topic. Without a doubt, this book will bring clarity into your confusion and help you confirm the purpose on your life. I love this man, his ministry, and this book!

It thrills my soul to see a new generation of holy, humble, and anointed men and women of God emerging on the scene. Daniel Kolenda carries within his heart a zeal and passion for Jesus, as well as an unction to deliver the gospel message with fire. I have met many people in my life who claim the title of evangelist, but seldom have I crossed paths with those who truly understand the weight of that calling the way this young man does.
Daniel Kolendas book Live Before You Die is a clarion call and a practical road map for all who long to step out of the meaninglessness of living for today and instead make their lives count for eternity. Get ready for God to speak to you. And get ready for action!

Ive used many resources in preparing to preach on finding Gods will, but this is by far the most comprehensive and practical book Ive ever encountered. Daniel Kolenda goes deep into this vital subject yet makes it understandable to the reader. Its packed full of vivid illustrations from the Scriptures and personal experience. The only problem was how hard it was to speed-read this book; I found myself stopping often to reflect on one fresh insight or challenge after another.
