If you've ever felt stuck, wondering what God really created you for, how to break through into the version of you He's been calling forward (even if you've hid in fear), these book recs are for you. The first two- 1) The Purpose & Power of Vision and 2) Activate Heaven were catalysts in my spiritual growth during one of the darkest, isolating times in our modern world.. the Global Pandemic of 2020. Dr. Munroe's book set it off first, then Apostle Eckhardt's book lit the fire in 2021. One helped me see the bigger picture of destiny and purpose in a practical way anchored in biblical foundation, the other literally activated my voice and taught me how God works through us via our voices in the earth- exactly the way my heart was yearning for. Both books enlarged my capacity to steward what God had for me! When I tell you.. when you read these books your life will never be the same- I mean it will NEVER be the same. God will meet you right there and say Daughter/Son, I've been waiting to introduce you to YOURSELF. Let's go! **Please let me know how these shift your paradigm, because they will.
