Priorities: Reaching the Life God Intended grew out of Dr. Mark Ballard's long-term study and experience. He said, "I'm passionate about helping you discover your God-given priorities. I believe priorities will do for you what they did for me."
For Ballard, priorities changed an expected high school dropout into class valedictorian. Priorities helped him earn a college degree, two graduate degrees, and become a college founder and president. Along the way, priorities helped him plant and pastor multiple churches.
What can priorities do for you?
Everyone has a limited amount of time, talents, and treasures. How are you using yours? Priorities will guide you to use rather than lose your time. Priorities will help you invest your talents and treasures wisely and effectively.
Priorities was written to help you discover and accomplish your God-given priorities. You will learn a simple process drawn from Ballard's practical expositions of Haggai. Haggai prophesied to ancient people with contemporary priority problems.
Ballard added insights from personal experience. Each chapter concludes with positive exhortations.
You will be equipped to:distinguish actual priorities from aspirational priorities;
make decisions based on personal priorities;
discover your life mission;
experience the joy and freedom of living out your God-given priorities; and
reach the life God intended.
