Book Description

Publication Date: January 2005

As a 21-year-old single mother of a 3-month-old son, Patricia Bailey heard from everyone that her dream of ministering to the nations would have to wait. But God had another plan—He was ready and willing to use this single mom in missions, and in countries where women were not allowed to minister. God made a way. As Dr. Bailey explains, it is by working diligently to follow His plan that we learn to stand strong in the face of adversity—to become true leaders, ready to change this world.

Finishing Touches reveals the fine-tuning God needs to accomplish in every believer for them to be truly fulfilled. This insightful and practical advice will help readers make changes, enabling them to finish their call. Topics include the ability to stay in unity, the importance of your thoughts and words, the power of personal worship, the Peter Pan syndrome, and Spirit-led leadership. Readers will learn the joy of surrendering to His plan for their life—a life filled with purpose, peace, and love.

About the Author

The ministry of Dr. Pat Bailey has created tremendous impact for more than 20 years in over 80 countries around the world, bringing deliverance and salvation to thousands. A 1982 graduate of New Life Bible College in Tennessee, a 1984 charter class graduate of Victory World Missions Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a 1993 graduate of All Nations for Christ Bible Institute in Benin City, Nigeria, Patricia D. Bailey’s journey into ministry began at the age of 21 with an invitation from the late Daisy Osborn (wife of T. L. Osborn) to travel to East and West Africa.

Dr. Bailey is a lecturer, author, and founder of Master’s Touch Ministries International, a mission outreach. MTM has also founded Y.U.G.O. (Young Adults United for Global Outreach) and Sister to Sister, an international outreach to women in foreign countries. Dr. Bailey serves as a missions strategy consultant to several growing churches and has developed leadership programs around the world.

Dr. Bailey has focused her recent efforts of spreading the liberating good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ toward the people living in the 10/40 window, which includes North Africa and the Middle East, the most populated but least evangelized area in the world. She concentrates much of her ministry to a group of people who have no voice—refuges, widows, and orphans.

Dr. Bailey’s school of missions, which she launched in early 2004, is training nationals to return to their nations. In the first six months of existence, the nationals will have reached the number of nations Dr. Bailey has personally ministered in her more than two decades of ministry.

Master’s Touch Ministries has headquarters in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and London. Dr. Bailey is the proud mother of a son, Karim Israel Bailey.

This review is from: Step into Divine Destiny: It's Time to ... Define Your Purpose, Mature Your Soul, and Complete Your Call (Paperback)

God has a plan for all of us. This plan is one that will be far greater than anything we could've possibly imagined. He has designs on our lives that speak greatness, and it can be ours if only we'd enter into a personal relationship with Him. He is there waiting patiently for us to accept Him and turn over all our cares to Him. In STEP INTO DIVINE DESTINY, Dr. Patricia D. Bailey charts a course for believers to discover God's purpose and plan in their lives.

The book is divided into five sections. In Part One, you discover how your words shape your destiny. The tongue speaks what's in the heart, and if what's in your heart isn't godly, then expect an ungodly destiny. Parts Two through Four deal with challenges that may impede your destiny. These challenges are areas that slow or stop the maturing process because we use our own understandings, strengths and abilities rather than trusting in God. The fifth part deals specifically with maturity or the decision to walk in the supernatural power of God. He desires excellence for all mankind. He wants the Holy Spirit to abide in each one of us so that we may be conformed to His image. As we run this race, He wants us to know we "were ordained by God to run with the chariots," not with the footmen.

Dr. Bailey has drafted an eye-opening experience for many believers. She removes the veils of ignorance and lays the truth at the feet of all who have the courage to receive this wonderful lesson. I was truly caught up in this book and all that Dr. Bailey had to offer. Many times I found myself trying to soak up every detail in one sitting, and this was not that type of book. It was made for slow, careful digestion. If you are ready to step up to your next level spiritually and know God intimately, then please read STEP INTO DIVINE DESTINY. The course is already laid out for you; all you have to do is follow it.

MISHANDLING GOD'S WORD.
Reckless drivel.
Inaccurate Biblical interpretation is deadly, ETERNALLY.
Try Dr. John Macarthur and John Piper for life changing, inspirational and God honoring Biblical TRUTHS.
