I hope I am honoring Debbie Macomber by borrowing the theme of her book God’s Guest List, Welcoming Those Who Influence Our Lives, as the format I want to use in how becoming a new creation began for me.
We are now back to December 2014 and a guest who gets credit for planting the seed that reshaped how I viewed myself and those around me. One of the principals in the accounting/consulting firm where I was employed gifted all of the employees (and there were a lot of us) with the book The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann. As I read this book whose ‘fictional’ message was ostensibly how to have and maintain a successful business, I recognized an underlying and persuasive theme. In an intriguing and delightful manner, a mentor teaches a young man the importance of relationships, how to create and maintain the best of the best. I was struck by how consistently the tale went into seeking the “good of the other;” although I didn’t have the words to express it that way until years later. I was peering into a realm of human connections that had NOT been part of my experience.
God dropped his first bread crumb for me.
I loved the Go Giver. A quick and simple read but with a powerful impact! I just read it last year.
