**Personal stories and actionable advice for the spiritually committed,
all rooted in decades of research.

Even in a country as religious as the U.S., many people feel disengaged
from their faith communities. More than half report that they really
don't get the opportunity in their congregation to do what they do best.
People just feel disconnected.
Maybe it's because those faith communities make unwitting missteps:
Pastors ask shy people to be greeters or recruit innately disorganized
people to coordinate church events.
The problem is simply this: Too many people's talents are going
unappreciated. But it doesn't have to be this way. Living Your
Strengths shows readers how to use their innate gifts to enrich their
faith communities. The book -- written by former pastors Albert Winseman
and Curt Liesveld and Don Clifton, coauthor of the national bestseller
Now, Discover Your Strengths -- shows people how to identify and
affirm their talents and how to use them for growth and service. Most
importantly, Living Your Strengths helps people discover their true
calling.
The book includes an access code to take the CliftonStrengths assessment
(formerly called Clifton StrengthsFinder) that reveals a reader's top
five talent themes. Spiritual enrichment begins with turning talents
into strengths. Living Your Strengths is an indispensable guide to
help readers to just that.
