“Each chapter makes me realize that, before being an instrument in God's hands, I need to be willing to let the Lord search me, break me, transform me, fill me, and ultimately mold me.”
— Maria José Pinheiro
Before I Am Used
A journey before encountering our calling.
Before God uses our hands, He desires to work in our hearts.
Before I Am Used is a journey of reflection, transformation and preparation to understand that, before we become instruments in God's hands, we need to allow Him to work in us.
The book takes the reader on a journey of confrontation, brokenness, transformation, filling and, finally, a willingness to be used by God.
“God's greatest work is in us, not through us.”
Words from those who have begun the journey
What Readers Are Saying
“I will certainly read it again, but what stayed with me was the understanding that our God wants to have a genuine relationship with us. He does not call us only to do a work; He calls us out of love.”
— Itála Rodrigues“One of the lessons that marked me was the danger of religious activism: people who want to do God's work without knowing the God of the work. Another was the true meaning of brokenness — not simply being moved emotionally, but experiencing a change of direction and attitudes.”
— Edgleison
