About this audiobook
God doesn't need your help. But He definitely wants it.
Let's face it. God is God, and there isn't a single problem in the universe that He can't solve. But the fact is, God gave each of us unique talents for a reason. When we offer up the gifts He's given us, He will transform them into something bigger than we could have ever imagined. He might even work a miracle, like turning one lunch into a meal for 5,000 people. Or turning Austin Gutwein's favorite hobby into an international AIDS relief organization.
What gifts do you have to offer? Discover your gifts and see what plans God has for you!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a very inspiring book. Most of the time while I was reading it I forgot how young the author is. He has a very mature way of writing. Then there were times that he would say something that would “snap” me back to reality and I’d realize just how young he was. It was amazing to read his story. To think, someone so young has done something so fantastic with his life already! Just imagine all the amazing things he’s yet to accomplish.I liked that the message focused on the little boy who gives his lunch to Jesus, and Jesus performs a miracle using that boy’s lunch. This boy and his seemengly meager lunch was used to feed thousands of people! While it’s a story we’re all familiar with I’d never really focused that much attention to it. Gutwein shows how something so simple can become something much more significant if we allow ourselves to give our gifts to God.This book was so well written, as I said earlier I kept forgetting how young the author is. But I think his youth is what makes this book so enjoyable. He’s so enthusiastic about his message – the kind of enthusiasm children often have about everything. Not only does his enthusiasm show through but he’s able to take the concepts he’s trying to convey and make them so simple.I know this book is geared towards children, teens, and young adults but I think the message is one what we all can benefit from. As we get older I think we tend to feel as if we don’t have anything left to contribute or that our gifts aren’t as “strong” as they were when we were young and we had the enthusiasm and energy we used to have. But through Gutwein’s words I realized that as long as I give my gifts – no matter how insignificant I may think they are – that they can be used to do something wonderful. My gifts can be a miracle for someone else.This was an amazing book with a awesome message. Not only is this book very encouraging it is also is energizing. It made me really look at my life and start working on some of my gifts so that I can start to help others with them. I’ve already got a few small projects ready to go!
