Most people pay the bills, put food on the table and take the occasional holiday with the proceeds of paid work that they don't really enjoy.

However, there have probably been times in your life, albeit short and fleeting, when you were engaged on a project or carrying out a set of actions or involved in an activity and you said to yourself, 'I think this is me - it feels as though this is what I was made to do'. You might even have said, 'I'm in my element'.

Was God behind those moments of epiphany, when you sensed the 'rightness', the 'fit' or the 'timeliness' of what you were doing? Were they clues, pointing to the good works He has prepared for you, that He wants you to enjoy?

We are more important to Him than we know; He has more invested in us than we can imagine; and He has given each of us a unique combination of capabilities for a reason... He has SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO.

"I think this is superbly justified, theologically sound, pastorally necessary and compellingly written. I would certainly endorse it enthusiastically." - SIMON PONSONBY, PASTOR OF THEOLOGY, ST. ALDATES, OXFORD

"Iain offers us perspectives on living purposefully in the sight of God in ways that maximise human potential, enrich the common good and value the gifts and opportunities bestowed on all people. This is a work based on personal experience and healthy thinking." - DR. NIGEL G WRIGHT, PRINCIPAL EMERITUS, SPURGEON'S COLLEGE, LONDON (FORMER PRESIDENT, BAPTIST UNION OF GREAT BRITAIN)
