Book Cover & Preview Text
What is the Secret to Fruitfulness? Have you desired a more fruitful and fulfilled walk with God? Do you long to experience a demonstration of God through your life that cannot be explained by your service, sacrifice, and abilities? Do you long to understand what God is doing behind the scenes when you are going through trials of faith? Do you have a deep sense that God has designed you for a unique purpose and you are seeking to fulfill that purpose? Are you tired of trying so hard to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised you? Can you point to times when the Holy Spirit worked through your life? Even though this study magnifies Gods’ great work in Hannah, this book shares the eternal principles that God designed for both men and women. The principles of Scripture drawn from Hannah’s struggles and journey of faith will answer the following questions: ✴ Why does God bring us to barrenness before true fruitfulness? ✴ Why do other Christians unknowingly side track us from greater fruitfulness? ✴ How do we receive and recognize the burden that God has given to us? ✴ How do we learn to discern the difference between our will and God’s will? ✴ Why does God allow us to have rivals who seek to hinder the fulfillment of God’s burden? How do I respond to God and not react to rivals? ✴ Why must God bring us through a process of brokenness before He gives us a great assignment? ✴ How do we grow in faith to the point that we believe the promised blessing before we receive it?

About the Author
The wise, the mighty, and the noble, are those that the world calls to leadership. Yet it is more often the foolish, the weak, and the base that God calls. Moses told God that he had chosen the wrong man. Gideon and Jeremiah felt the same way. The leaders of Israel marveled that Jesus’ apostles were ignorant and unlearned men. When I sensed that God was calling me to be a preacher, as a poor speaker, I felt weak and unqualified for that calling. I would later learn that I was weak, but still not weak enough to be used by God. After experiencing dependency upon God and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, I have seen the transforming power of the Word of God upon people’s lives for the last forty-two years of ministry. What I discovered about preaching, I have discovered about writing. I am not a gifted, skilled, or trained writer, but God has given me a transforming message from His Word. It is the Word of God and its application that builds faith, produces fruit, and conforms us to the ultimate purpose of God – the image of Christ. While the world looks for great people that stand head and shoulders above their peers, “God’s eyes run to and fro throughout the entire earth to find a heart that is yielded to God.” We can impact the world. We have an amazing God who chooses the barren to bring forth fruitfulness. When you discover God’s secret of the barren womb, you will discover true fruitfulness just as Hannah did.
