When Life Has You In A Holding Pattern – Accept The Challenge And Take A Journey Of Discovery

Houston, TX, March 5, 2011 - Called and Chosen for Destiny: Knowing and Fulfilling your Destiny in God (Tate Publishing) is the latest book from Joan E. Murray, and was written for anyone who has a desperate need to be free from discouragement, disappointment and despair. This thought-provoking book takes readers on a journey of discovery in order to find that they have been called, destined and appointed to accomplish greatness in life through God.

Featured in Wow! Women of the Word Magazine, Joan Murray’s book is so compelling it has been used as a Bible study tool locally and internationally, and its messages have been embraced. Called and Chosen for Destiny will uncover secrets that will lead readers to the richness of the life they were intended to enjoy – catapulting them out of mediocrity and into great exploits, all the while challenging them to look at where they are in life and showing how to chart a new course to fulfilling the destiny that God intended for them.

Joan Murray knew from an early age she was destined for great things. Over the past twenty years she has been passionately teaching the life-changing Word of God in churches, Bible study groups, conferences, seminars, prisons and workshops. Her profound faith and her knowledge of the Bible have equipped her to teach, train, counsel and pray for those in need. Her love of God, her compassionate heart, and her desire to see people healed and set free by His power, are her driving force.

As the founder of Joan Murray Ministries, she focuses her attention on being the “hands and feet of Jesus” through her work in local and international missions. Joan considers Called and Chosen for Destiny as just another step in the right direction of her calling to teach God’s plan and purpose to everyone. With His help, she not only ministers to the spiritual needs of people but also their fundamental needs by providing food and clothing, school supplies to needy families, help to teenage girls living in halfway houses, encouragement to orphans and homeless veterans, as well as conducting two international mission trips each year.

TIP SHEET:

Renee Branson: “…Called and Chosen for Destiny truly is one of the best, most well-written books I have read in a long time. Dr. Myles Munroe even wrote an endorsement in it! It is a profound book on God calling and choosing each of us for a special destiny in Him. The book is as excellent as the books that many well known authors have written, and I highly recommend it to anyone searching for their purpose and to fulfill that purpose. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it myself, and I think you will, too. Or, if you know of someone searching for their purpose in life, this would be an excellent book to recommend to them.”

Anne Stevens: “The book ….was so seamless I see clearly how the Holy Spirit guided and directed you. Your book is a fresh, encouraging and a thought provoking guide. I was especially drawn to your subjects of doubt, discouragement and peace. Those chapters are full of my high lighter notations and will be re-read many times I'm sure!

Congratulations on following your dreams and living such a beautiful example of excellence and perseverance and for mirroring graciously the tender love of Father God. I pray that the coming year will be full of unexpected and joyous blessings!”
