Publisher's Summary:
American churches are experiencing a power shortage, declare the authors of Living Your Strengths. "People aren't harnessing the power of their innate gifts."
Does this message sound familiar? Have you felt disconnected from your church lately? Are you not attending as much?
Or maybe you're a passionate member who wants to become even more involved and would also like to inspire others.
Whatever the case, more than half of churchgoers report that they don't get to do what they do best in their parishes. And this is driving people away.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Living Your Strengths shows all members how to use their innate gifts to enrich their parishes - right now. It teaches you to identify and affirm your talents and how to use them for growth and service.
The apostle Paul wrote: "For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts - all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body - so it is with Christ." He meant that every individual - every parish member - plays a role in energizing and shaping the Church.
Living Your Strengths will help you find your role - and, most importantly, it will inspire you to discover your true calling.

Excellent resource
Very good book; discusses what is often overlooked in one's career -- defining "who they are". What their character is. Not what they've been taught -- such as carpentry, computer programming, finances, auto repair, etc. But what their basic character strengths are. We use it in a local job support networking group, to help folks figure out what they should really be looking for in a job. But it's an excellent resource for everyone, in any situation. If someone were to ask you point-blank, could you tell them your 5 greatest characteristic strengths?
Know yourself
This book details the specific elements and behaviors of several personality types. I is written in an easy to read format, headings for the different personality types are clear. The types are based on positive psychology. The reader is given options to maximize ones own talents and suggestions on how to approach other personality types in conflict resoloution. This is not a "read through" type of book. It is the type of book that needs to be read, then portions thought about and applied to ones behavior. The result is an increased effectiveness in dealing with others and minimizing ones own annoying or intimidating behavior in interpersonal communication. My husband and I each bought a book and took the questionaire, the results were accurate and excellent revelation and discussion points for how we approached situations differently with our preferred strategies.

I happened on this book by accident. I had been reading a number of leadership/management books, which all referred toFirst, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently.
