Indispensible While You Are Waiting .... and Waiting ... :)

I bought this book at a conference a few years ago where Ms. Tompkins was the featured speaker. I have since referred to this book time and again. Often after the Lord has revealed his plan (or a portion of that plan) for your life, there is a period of dryness, boredom, and discouragement. You've seen where He wants to take you, your "bags are packed," but nothing seems to be happening. This book addresses that in-between time. Ms. Tompkins uses the events in King David's life as a backdrop for each topic. She also provides examples from her own life. The book is only 137 pages and written in a larger-than usual font (looks like 12 or 14 point). I found it to be very comfortable to read. The style is conversational and very simple; the writing style doesn't obscure the message. The book is written from a Charismatic perspective, but the information that is presented is good for Christians from all persuasions. Here is a synopsis of each chapter:1. The call. Discusses the nature of the call. Explains that we grow into our calling.2. The anointing. Provides information on the anointing. Scripture references from the old and new testament are provided.3. The release of the holy spirit. Talks about how God works so that you surrender to the work of the holy spirit. Also talks about what happens if you "step out" before you are ready to fulfill the call.4. God's placements. Talks about the intermediary assignments and jobs you may have on the way to the fulfillment of the call. Talks about difficult placements.5. Ministering at home. "Our families are our first mission field."6. The only way to grow. Discusses the development of our character.7. Warring to Win. Spiritual warfare.8. Perspective of Praise. Discusses the importance of praise and worship.9. Inquiring of the Lord. How to let the Lord fight our battles.10. Ministering in Power. Talks about how powerful ministry can be if it is done in God's way at God's time.11. Trusting our source. Trusting God.12. Letting go. How to let go when God is ready to move you to another place.13. Fear of the Lord. A few closing words on the fear (awe and respect) of the Lord.
