The timely message of Dr. Duke's book is "Don't die until you have unloaded your potential." This book is highly motivational as the author urges, "Since God has packaged some things in you for the good of the world, you have to strive to reach beyond where you are now." In fact, you have to dare beyond what you think is possible to achieve the best results. Only then do you stand to discover your full potential. Further, the potential, or ability of a thing, is determined by the purpose for which the Creator made it. It's not subject to debate; it's not determined by opinion or assumption or prejudices. But God gives us the information about our ability or potential in the Bible. So, rise up and discover your potential! By reading this book, you'll learn the many truths the author has to share; and yes, you can discover your true self and potential and live a fulfilled life.

Me chasing you while you chase someone else for the rest of our lives?” Indeed. Had her past caught up to her? Or was she tossing away her present for the chance to relive her past?
