Reaching Into Their Future: How to See and Shape
the God-Given Potential in Others
AN UNSPEAKABLE PRIVILEGE
It’s not an accident or the product of chance that we’re connected to certain people. God has put us in these relationships, and we have the unspeakable privilege of being instruments of grace, directed by the Spirit, to make a dfference in their lives. Even when he was physically blind, the patriarch Isaac had spiritual eyes to see into the future of his sons. In this book, Dr. Nate Ruch encourages us to see the people around us with fresh eyes of love, confidence, and hope.
