Taking The 5 Leaps

When is the last time God called you to do something that felt terrifying? When God nudges us into the unknown, it can be thrilling and exciting but also overwhelming and risky. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, a corporate leader looking to follow God’s calling, or retiree who knows you have more to give to the world, this book was written for you. Wife, mother, Bible teacher, and entrepreneur Rachel G. Scott loves to help men and women navigate their God-given callings. In Taking the 5 Leaps, Rachel equips readers to go from delay to action. What kind of leap are you being invited to make? And how can you prepare, plan, and execute that leap? This book outlines five types of leaps you can take using illustrations from the Bible and personal stories. Taking a risk of any kind is often accompanied with feelings of fear, uncertainty, and hesitancy. It requires courage and wisdom. In the Bible, we meet several leapers who learned to make obedience to God a non-negotiable. Rachel introduces us to biblical characters who have paved the way to lead us into a greater understanding of God’s heart and intentions for modern-day leapers. This is your invitation to take the leap and partner with God in living a leaping lifestyle! I would love to be your leap mentor for a few days, weeks, or months. We will go at your pace. I want to cheer you on as you learn from my mistakes and successes about how to leap into God’s destiny for you. Taking leaps always includes risks and tons of unknowns, but I want you to remember that the risk is worth Heaven’s reward. – Rachel G. Scott
