Synopsis

Through touching true stories and inspiring insight, Debbie Macomber takes us on a journey to discover the influence others have on us--and the power we have to influence them in turn.

Who is on God's "guest list" for your life...and why? The answers may surprise you.

Each of us have "influencers" that have affected our lives--some from a distance, some through word or deed, some through example, be it good or bad. Often we don't even recognize the deep impact others have had and how God has used them to shape us into who we are. By pausing to recognize these influences, we begin to grasp how God's guest list has a purpose far beyond what we imagined. We begin to see the seeds of influence that grew into our personal values and character.

In some people God invites into our lives, we see only what appears to be painful or negative influence. In God's Guest List, Macomber redirects our attention, opening our eyes to how those experiences prompted strength, resilience, resolve, and choices about how we would change and who we would become. In other instances, God has surprised us with just the people at just the right time to support, teach, lead, or love us, but perhaps we haven't quite recognized God's timing and work through these "guests." This book also offers the chance to grasp our own power to influence others, and even to anticipate what lives we have yet to touch.

In the bestselling tradition of How to Win Friends and Influence People, Macomber shares her vision to seize every opportunity to be a positive and faithful influence on others. Filled with true stories and rich insight, God's Guest List will forever change how you see the people in your life.
