Understanding God’s Gifts for the Betterment of Ourselves

It is important for us to examine and Understand God's Gifts as we make everyday decisions. Everyone has gifts. We lose our focus when we get down... in trouble... depressed. We don't have to Understand everything, we just have to DO IT!

Gordo, AL—One day while sitting on a park bench, author Mark D. Jones was asked by an old man, “Why do you do what you do? Why do you work where you work?” Jones immediately realized that what seemed like such a nonchalant question had yielded a much deeper soul-searching probe. After pondering the questions posed to him, Jones came to the realization that God leads us, but we are the ones who ultimately make our own decisions. In The Long Road to Nowhere ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60791-566-9; $25.99, hardcover, 978-1-60791-567-6), the author says everyone doubts their abilities and questions their gifts sometimes, but the most important thing they can do is to understand where their passion lies, to realize the decisions they make that affect them, and then to believe that God loves them no matter what.

Says Jones, “God has given us all gifts, even when we don’t understand them. And He uses the puzzle our decisions create to bless us anyway, even when we don’t see it, know it, or better yet, understand it.”

After the foundation had been laid by God, Jones turned to writing to finish the work He had begun in him. Filled with evidence of the author’s’ passion for life itself, The Long Road to Nowhere is an uplifting read that is sure to resonate with readers of all ages.
