(UN)Qualified By Steven Furtick

Who You Think You Are is Not as Important as Who God Says You Are 
Many of us wrestle with the gap between our weaknesses and our dreams, between who we are and who God says we are meant to be. We feel unqualified to do God’s work or to live out the calling we imagine. But God has a way of using our weaknesses for good. In fact, God loves unqualified people.
 
In (Un)Qualified, Pastor Steven Furtick helps you peel back the assumptions you’ve made about yourself and see yourself as God sees you. Because true peace and confidence come not from worldly perfection but from acceptance: God’s acceptance of you, your acceptance of yourself, and your acceptance of God’s process of change. 
This is a book about understanding your identity in light of who God is. It’s a book about coming to terms with the good, the bad, and the unmentionable in your life and learning to let God use you. It’s about charging into the gap between your present and your hopes and meeting God there. After all, God can’t bless who you pretend to be. But he longs to bless who you really are; a flawed and broken person. Good thing for us that God is in the business of using broken people to do big things. 
  
 Being Unqualified Is God’s Favorite Qualification
 Our culture tells us that the answer to our failures is to fix them. The solution to our weaknesses is to hide them. The secret to our success is to appear as flawless as possible. But God’s qualifying system is different than the world’s. So is his view of our weaknesses, our purpose, and our true selves.
 
In (Un)Qualified, Steven Furtick explores who God is as the great “I AM,” and then helps us discover our own identity. Delving into the story of Jacob, Furtick invites us to acknowledge our weaknesses and ask God to work through them. 
The truth is, God has created us to be more, to accomplish more, and to love life more than we ever thought possible. But to become who he has called us to be, we must embrace who we are right now. (Un)Qualified equips us to face obstacles and failures without losing a sense of purpose. We can have a thriving sense of hope that God is working in us and through us, not in spite of our weaknesses but often as a direct result of them.

Ready for a new you?

Today so many people don't care to read non-fiction books by pastors. They never know what they are going to read on the pages of a book. Well with that being said I must tell you the (Un)Qualified was not a book you want to pass by and not pick up and read. It's chock-full of meat that we all need to be chewing on. This is one book that you will not be able to put down and if you let it Pastor Furtick will step on your toes so much your feet will be killing you.

It's a honest read and an eye opening read and a learning read.

This is a book for our generation to pick up and read and make some changes in our life.

I Highly recommend this book. I gave it 5 stars and I plan to reread it.

It would make a wonderful small group read. Or a Bible study at your church.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
