Made to Count

“Made to Count will give you a new set of lenses so that you see your workplace as your God-given opportunity to advance the kingdom of Christ right where you are. May this book encourage you to fulfill your most important mission in life—to share the love of Jesus Christ with others.”

Dr. Jack Graham

“This book has the potential to transform our society, if readers will take the authors’ message to heart. I believe the authors are speaking what the Spirit of God is saying to the church today—that our work, calling, and ministry are all the same! I wish every believer would read this book. It’s one of the best books to date in the faith and work movement. Great job, Bob and Randy!”

Os Hillman

“Bob Reccord and Randy Singer, who know the heart of the laity, have captured a challenging subject for every true believer desiring to fulfill a life of Christian significance. These denominational leaders challenge both laity and clergy to fulfill the role of the lay believer in ministry at work. In a powerful manner, they undergird the significant role of the laity in their everyday activity as ministers. To serve Christ in the workplace does not mean every believer must attend seminary; as they point out, they must be with Jesus and then fulfill the Great Commission given to all of us.”

Gil Stricklin

“Whether therefore therefore ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all for the glory of God.”

Stu Epperson

“Bob and Randy are more than qualified to write a book on making life count. They bring years of experience both in full-time ministry and in the workplace to bring a message of hope to those seeking to make a difference for Christ in our world.”

Steve Douglass

“Made to Count is a must-read for every church leader, every church member, and all those wanting God to make a difference in their lives, and through their lives. This book will challenge you where you live and gets to the heart of what being on mission is all about!”

Vern Clark

“Boardrooms, living rooms, classrooms, and locker rooms seem to be full of mediocrity. If you are searching for that which is important, enduring, and substantial, Madeto Count will propel you from your comfort zone to the end zone. This is a must-read for leaders of all ages who want to soar instead of settle.”

Dr. Jay Strack

“From time to time, God chooses to move in churches and communities in such a powerful, transcending way that denominational boundaries and issues that too often divide us are blown away. We are on the verge of such a movement, as God captures the hearts of “pew people” across our land, charging them to make a difference in the workplace, schools, and neighborhoods. That’s what Made to Count is all about. Read this book; then have your church study its principles. Then hold on as God uses His people to change their world!”

Dr. ED YOUNG Pastor

“You don’t have to be in a leadership position to be a leader, and you don’t have to be a “minister” to share Christ. As Christians, God has equipped each of us with talents and gifts that we can use in a variety of ways. Made to Count reveilles captivating stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and it challenges you to discover your own plan for success. This book can help you make it count!”

JOHN C. MAXWELL Founder

Adrian Rogers

“When God’s people truly surrender everything to Him, there’s no limit to what He can and will accomplish in our homes, our churches, our workplaces, and our communities. The Lord is moving in a way that transcends denominational boundaries and anything else that might come between us. Read Made to Count, apply and share its message, and see what God will do!”

H. B. London Jr.

“As an adopted child, my parents gave me the gift of growing up with the understanding that God loved me and my life had purpose. After reading Made to Count, I feel God put my life message into written form through the skillful writing of Bob Reccord and Randy Singer. As a stay-at-home soccer mom, this is one of the most important messages I want my family and friends to embrace. Made to Count is a gift I want to offer every individual—it’s the difference between frustration and flourishing.”

Mark Miller

“Vice President Training & Development, Chick-fil-A, Inc. This book will turn your thinking upside down, especially if you have any doubts that God has a specific purpose for you or if you haven’t connected the dots He’s laid in your path. With their sound advice—plus wisdom from others—the authors elevate living on mission from a process to a lifestyle, from a list of principles to incisive biblical truths that reveal God’s very personal plan.”

Carolyn Curtis

“Bob Reccord and Randy Singer, two men whom I have gotten to know and admire greatly, have written a practical and challenging book for all of us. Both of them have left a successful business career to work with a large mission organization and, as such, have a unique perspective on the workplace. They are extraordinarily capable communicators and have written this book in a compelling way. You will be gripped from page one, and your life will be changed forever, no matter where you are in your spiritual walk after being challenged by this book. I am delighted to be able to recommend it unequivocally and whole-heartedly.”
