Summary

God Wants to Do Great Things Through You, But Whether or Not That Happens Depends Upon Who You Allow to Shape Your Life. Do You Insist on Following Your Own Imperfect Pattern for Change or Are You Willing to Allow God to Fashion Your Life Into a Masterpiece with His Signature? David Met God Through His Provision in the Wilderness, and it Forever Changed Him Into "a Man After God's Own Heart." a Man Who "Served God's Purpose in His Own Generation." Joseph Met God in the Dreams or His Youth, and When Those Dreams Were Finally Fulfilled, a Self-Important Young Man Was Transformed Into the Humble Leader of the Most Powerful Kingdom on Earth. You Could Say They Were Forged in the Fire As They Were Shaped by the Master. God Used the Difficult Circumstances in the Lives of Both David and Joseph to Prepare Them for What He Wanted to do Through Them. He Can do the Same for You, But Only When You Relinquish Control of Your Life and Thrust Yourself Blindly Into His Hands. It Doesn't Matter Whether You Are a Person Who Is Struggling Just to Know Who God is and How He Wants to Be a Part of Your Life; A New Christian Who is Growing in Your Faith; a Christian Who Feels Stuck in the Events Life Has Thrown Across Your Path; or a Christian Who Has Drifted From God's Purpose and Allowed the Fire in Your Heart to Dwindle to a Pile of Cooling Embers. Your Decision Will Determine Your Destiny. Life is Full of Trials and Circumstances That Are Beyond Your Control. The Way You Respond is Your Choice. When You Learn to Recognize God's Hand In Each Event of Your Life, You Can be Forever Fashioned Into a Person Who Serves His Purpose in Your Own Generation. That is Being Forged in the Fire -- Shaped by the Master. Book jacket.
