How big are you living? A more significant question would be, how big could you be living? Now the crux of the matter: where and how could you live really big? The answer lies in expressing your God-given design on the right playing field.

In this book you will find stories of fame and obscurity, tragedy and triumph, beauty and brutality. All of these people expressed their redemptive gift powerfully. Some enriched the world through the use of their gift, while others damaged it badly.

The central message for you is that your circumstances do not define your quality of life. You will experience life in a rich, dynamic way when you understand your redemptive gift and walk it out with fierce intentionality. These life portraits will show you what being alive with passion and purpose looks like for each of the different gifts. Read deeply. Then choose to live big really, really big.
