If you’re like most of us, you want to know that you mean something to somebody. You want to feel appreciated and to have influence. You want to make a difference. Our Heavenly Father wants you to make a difference.
On the other hand – you have an enemy that wants you to fail. You’re a high-value target. This enemy is studying all of us and has honed his skills on how to distract you and influence the choices you make. It’s important for you to be aware of these tactics since – at any given time – you are just ONE DECISION away from TOTALLY CHANGING your life. Therefore, like all of us, you must make the best decisions you can!
But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.
You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.
Everything about you up to this point in your life is the result of the decisions YOU have made and the actions YOU have taken!
No matter how you may be feeling about the decisions you’ve made or the things you’ve done – nothing in your life is a mistake that our Heavenly Father can’t use for good – if allowed.
If you’re not careful, you’ll fall for the enemy’s deceptions and accept a mundane existence as being what our Heavenly Father intended for you. If you reduce your life to the reality you’re living in – if that’s as big as you think – it’ll destroy the dream within you and minimize your effectiveness.
Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
It’s really the essence of your existence – the “thing” that causes your life to make sense. Max Your Talents can help start you in the right direction while proving that facing adversity that can press you can enable you to change your perspective and pursue life with a Spirit of Excellence!
Hope is a waking dream.

I think we are going to use this book in our college / career Sunday school class. I am one of two teachers for that class. So far the book is amazing and I’m excited about finishing it. I’m sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for my doctor to come in and if anyone is standing outside my door they must think I’m crazy because I’m in here saying praise God, amen, hallelujah, glory be to God!!! Lol

Awesome Job! A story of a man who met the character and nature of God and was transformed by that encounter! I found Max Your Talents to be encouraging, inspirational and filled with truth. Thank you for taking the time to be vulnerable and put your experience in this book. I believe that it will encourage many people. Nobody has to be defined by his or her failures. God is for them. I was only a few chapters in, and I knew I wanted my sons to read it, and before I finished it they were blessed with their own copy!

A few years ago I hit my own “rock bottom.” Starting all over again in my fifties, I felt like I’d failed and blown my destiny – at least one I had planned. Surely, God wouldn’t make something beautiful out of this mess I’d made. What you will find in the pages of this book is how to hope again and that through adversity if you trust God through the process you will have a head-on collision with your destiny!

MAX YOUR TALENTS is so inspiring. I read the entire book in one sitting. It’s chock-full of inspiration!

Gary Calhoun realized early after leaving college that he wanted to be in business for himself. Over the years, that decision has led him to build several businesses and organizations. These ventures ranged in size from a few hundred to over a 100,000 reps nationwide, producing in excess of $30 million dollars in sales.
Gary also knows how it feels to have a multi-million dollar business vaporize overnight and to lose it all. Now, his passion is to help others who may be facing life-changing situations understand the importance in making the right decisions in their moment of adversity.
