Everyday Champions

Did you know YOU have God-given gifts? That you've been designed for fellowship with--and service to--the King of Kings?! Yet perhaps you find yourself bewildered whenever you hear teachings on the "Gifts of the Spirit"? Do you sometimes feel as if those supernatural talents were given to everyone you know, while you, yourself, struggle to identify with any of them? Do you wonder if your work in the Lord's service would be more efficient if you identified with a gift? What God installed in YOU for such a time as this? If so, you're not alone. Joe Ardis Horn was, like many, confused about his role in the Body of Christ for most of his life. From his youngest years, religious people outside his family exposed him to mystifying (and completely false) theologies and church practices, while simultaneously expecting him to live up to an ever-changing list of behavioral standards that differed from one church leader to another. His understanding of--and relationship with--the Lord was born from these perplexing years, and ruthless bullying in school exacerbated his search to find his place in the Kingdom of God. The perpetual hard knocks left him drifting like a leaf in life's windstorm: destination unknown. Yet from the ashes of this turmoil arose the unexpected heroes, the champions, the few people whose seemingly minuscule investments into Joe's life revealed the rock-solid Kingdom call upon him from birth...as well as a sudden, intense, God-given message for every Christ-follower: The Holy-Spirit-given gifts you seek might not be what you think they are. The book you now hold in your hands reveals how to pinpoint and connect to what God gifted you to be in His service.
