Publisher's Description
Everything we have we've been given. Even our very lives are a gift from God, given so we can live to give, not live to get. Yet it is our tendency in life to absorb, to take in without distribution resulting in a "souring" of all that is good and a separation from all that is intended. In The Life You Were Born to Give, David McKinley helps readers shift their focus from getting all they can out of life to giving their lives away, for Christ. Guiding them through the book of Romans, the transformational message includes: A Life Delivered (Romans 1-11) A Life Devoted (Romans 12: 1-2) A Life Distributed (Romans 12-16) "Recommended for readers looking for a basic approach to spiritual growth." -Don Morgan, Aspiring Retail

“Experiencing the fullness of life in Christ requires that we are willing to turn our upside-down thinking right-side-up. Thanks to my friend David McKinley, this book will help you discover that fullness of life is more about giving than getting.”
“There is only one Mona Lisa, only one Sistine Chapel, only one Halley’s Comet, and only one you. How are you going to use your time, your treasure, and your talent? David McKinley does a wonderful job of guiding readers through the process of learning to give back to the world what God has given to them. Kerby Anderson.

“David has given believers a long overdue wake-up call. Be prepared, when you read this, to look in the mirror of God’s Word and be challenged to live a life of giving.”
