The Life You Were Born to Give expertly takes wisdom from the book of Romans and makes it accessible to today’s reader. Written with the author’s trademark style of patient and persuasive teaching, these pages offer a challenge for radical living in the modern world.

David McKinley has a gift of explaining vital theological truths with clarity and genuine enthusiasm. Within this book is a golden nugget that will lead readers to a more extraordinary lifestyle. Based on the premise that everything we have we’ve been given, believers are encouraged to "give" their lives, rather than simply "live" them. Using the book of Romans as a guide, the author highlights the main points of this scriptural text in a progressive and logical manner. A creative and compelling mix of intriguing anecdotes and powerful spiritual insights give Christians a reason to keep reading. The lessons from Romans are sometimes surprising, yet always inspiring, and each is carefully developed and defined.

Most noteworthy about this book are two things. The first is the author’s teaching heart that comes through with every turn of the page. The second element is that this message is meant to change lives. The material presented is perfect for individual or group study, yet the focus remains on the future. Believers will be motivated to apply this teaching on a daily basis. Author David McKinley offers readers a challenge for more abundant living, but first he provides the necessary conviction and courage to carry it out.

The Life You Were Born to Give is Bible-based teaching that is bound to influence and impact readers.
