Bishop Jakes, my spiritual father, embodies God's limitless capacity to redefine, reenvision, and reinvigorate our journey in this life. He catapults those around him into newer and greater dimensions of self-awareness, and deposits deep wells of practical wisdom and spiritual inspiration from heaven into our hears, minds, and souls. |

Bishop Jakes is the quintessential with a heart for people in the now and an entrepreneurial vision for the church of tomorrow. Without hesitation I believe that Bishop Jakes is one of the best communicators in the world today. His ability to connect with people is God given, and I am personally inspired, encouraged, and challenged each and every time I am in his presence. |

Jakes takes the biblical definition of faith - the substance of things not yet realized - and adds that without some effort, faith becomes nothing more than a belief in magic. Although he admonishes the trend toward prosperity preaching that equates economic well-being with blessedness, Jakes reinforces the connection between faith, good works, and responsibility. And citing biblical verses and observations by successful people - Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and athlete Deion Sanders, among others - Jakes offers sound advice on how to put faith into action. He begins by insisting on a hard self-examination and takes aim at what he considers the major barrier to success: self-imposed limitations that result from a lack of spiritual faith. Jakes applies scripture across a wide range of personal challenges, including finding a mate and achieving financial success. For those who have already achieved a measure of success, Jakes cautions against complacency and arrogance. At whatever level of achievement, Jakes urges readers to learn to open themselves to giving and receiving blessings. Recalling his own rocky road to success from a childhood of poverty to the head of one of the nation's largest religious enterprises, Jakes makes clear how he was compelled to reposition himself to grow spiritually and materially. Jakes continues to deliver a message of hope and inspiration.

T.D. Jakes does it again by asking you to look in the mirror and examine the part we each play in just accepting the contentment we all fall victim to. I started reading this book and had to make sure my picture wasn't on the cover, that's how introspective it is. If you're like me, and don't appreciate a sermon in lieu of advice or suggestion, you'll find that even Bishop Jakes admits to the inadequacies of some churches, in leading its' parish. Easy to read and refer back to again and again. Get it today, and let the repositioning begin. |

This book underscores everything I have already learned: I am responsible for my actions and for how my life turns out. It also gives me hope and strength to face the consequences of my actions and to speak out about myself to others rather than keeping secrets. The book has been valuable and important to me in my journey. |

If you ever saw the movie Passions of the Christ and it touched you so, that you completely changed your direction in life and wanted to do right from then on out... then this book is for you! This author completely changed the game of inspiration and uncovered the unspoken demons we all face in life; from abuse to bad credit. He uses examples of his own past mistakes to pull generations out of their social circle of destruction. He motivates and empowers you with life changing information and transforms your thinking during the process. Jakes explains how your way of thinking is the only obstacle that hinders you from being successful. Reposition Yourself is life changing! |

Reposition Yourself offers a powerful message for all, but especially to believers who feel stuck because of their spiritual interpretation of their circumstances. Bishop Jakes provides the keys to unlock the gates that may have kept one hemmed in and limited, and offers exciting Biblical perspectives that allows us to see our lives in a different light. If you are feeling frustrated or hopeless, this book is for you.
There is an urgency to the Bishops message and even a warning to the slothful, but it is tempered with compassion and folksy wisdom. Bishop Jakes is one of America's best speakers, and in this work he doesn't disappoint as he draws upon his interesting life experience and rich illustrations.
My only minor nit is that sometimes the advice is a bit too basic - especially the financial advice - but you can't be too disappointed in a product that is sincerely seeking to help.
The audio book format works extremely well - an excellent choice for a long drive or a daily commute. |

T. D. Jakes is uncomfortable with preachers who tell people that if they give a certain amount of money they will reap a harvest of results. Similarly he is concerned with people who think that faith will lead to success. These two matters are incomplete, partial aspects of truth that are sometimes taken out of context. He believes that if one is to have faith that works, one must work that faith. Believing is not enough. It is the believing that leads to action that will see the desired results. In the matter of giving, that is part of stewardship, but only a portion. One cannot give what one does not possess. It is by effective stewardship that one has resources to give.
Bishop Jakes speaks with authority because he has successfully applied the principles from Scripture he teaches in this book. Stewardship is holistic. He writes that it is usually easier for some people to concentrate energies on success in the workplace (or ministry) while neglecting success at home. It isn't intentional, but by default that relationships deteriorate. In a straightfoward manner he tells you how to overcome this neglect and excell in domestic matters without cutting back on career success.
It is refreshing to see a man of the bishop's high standards discuss the contributions made by people society might consider to be "unsuccessful." He talks about the valuable marks they made "in spite of their flaws." Amen! We all have flaws and God works through imperfect people.
One of the weaknesses of the book was his examples of role-models. I find it hard to believe a preacher of the Gospel would select some of the ones he spotlights.
He concludes this book in a powerful way, discussing the mystery of giving in spite of the fact that one could never give enough to meet all the legitimate needs that exist. As a guest in Nigeria he describes a situation that caused him to reflect on this phenomenon and he offers a wise analysis of the matter. Overall this is a very powerful book, but coming from Bishop Jakes I would expect no less, as I have read several of his other excellent books. |
