The Echo Within - Blog Tour



I'm participating in a blog tour this week for The Echo Within by Robert Benson. It's a great and quick read about how to find your true calling in life and live your destiny. I found myself "amening" Benson many times as he shared from experience how God directs us into different vocations, locations, and circumstances. This is not a 1-2-3 approach to knowing God's will. Rather, Benson's approach involves introspection, listening, and following the heart.

One of my favorite passages of Scripture regarding God's will for your life is Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." I kept hearing this verse as I read The Echo Within. This is a classic verse and, for me, the message Robert Benson had in mind in his book. For when we are delighting ourselves in our relationship with the Lord, he places his desires for us in our hearts and then he allows us to pursue those desires and achieve those desires.

The Echo Within is illuminating, thoughtful, honest, and a profoundly affecting account of Benson's own search for and eventual discovery of what one is truly called to do and be.

I have a copy of The Echo Within to give away. Respond via comment or email before midnight on Friday, March 6, and I will send a copy to the winner of a random drawing. It's worth the read. You will enjoy no matter what stage of life you are in.

this sounds like an incredible book, I'd love to be in the drawing, but if it doesn't work out I will probably buy it in a few weeks.

Thanx Gene!

I know God wanted me to hear about this book and I will read it anyway, but it would be great to have a copy to share with my Life Group...we're moving into a lesson of my choice - learning to discover God's purpose for ourselves.

Interestingly, I was just talking to my life group about wanting to do a study that would lead me to figuring out God's purpose for me. Suddenly on the radio this morning I heard about this book. I will get it anyway, but would love a free copy I could share with my life group.

sounds great and all but don't put me in the drawing. You know how much I like to read. Save it for someone who will actually read it.

Thanks for the offer...
