God's Favor - by Gary Wilkerson (Paperback)

About the Book

Pastor and president of World Challenge Gary Wilkerson paints a bigger, brighter, and more biblical picture of what God's favor is. God showers his abundant resources upon us--things like forgiveness, restoration, peace, joy, power, authority--so we can then abundantly bless others and show the beauty of his unearned grace to a hurting, unbelieving world.

Book Synopsis

One of the great privileges we have as Christians is finding favor from the Lord. Yet our understanding of "favor" can be off. We are sometimes told it's all about us--that God gave us that house, that car, that job so we can have all we need. But his provision doesn't stop with us.

In this fascinating, empowering book, Gary Wilkerson, pastor and president of World Challenge, paints a bigger, brighter, and more biblical picture of what God's favor is. He shows how our loving Father showers his abundant resources upon us--things like forgiveness, restoration, peace, joy, power, and authority--not only to bless us with a favored, happy life, but for us to joyfully demonstrate this favor to others, whether they are friends, family, or strangers on the street. Because God's favor is not meant to end with us--it is meant to show the beauty of his unearned grace to a hurting, unbelieving world.

From the Back Cover

His Favor Is Always at Work for You

If illness strikes, finances crumble or your marriage falls apart, do you feel as though God has abandoned you? Does it seem as if others attract His blessing, but not you? Are you resigned to thinking that some sin, or even a curse, must be separating you from God's favor?

In this eye-opening, empowering book, Gary Wilkerson, pastor and president of World Challenge, paints a brighter, more biblical picture of what God's favor truly is. He shows how your loving Father showers His abundant resources upon you through forgiveness, grace, restoration, peace, power and authority. God does so, explains Wilkerson, not only to bless you with a favored, happy life, but also to make you a joyful demonstration of His favor to others--showing the beauty of His unearned grace to a hurting, unbelieving world.
