As a 21-year-old single mother of a 3-month-old son, Patricia Bailey heard from everyone that her dream of ministering to the nations would have to wait. But God had another plan—He was ready and willing to use this single mom in missions, and in countries where women were not allowed to minister. God made a way. As Dr. Bailey explains, it is by working diligently to follow His plan that we learn to stand strong in the face of adversity—to become true leaders, ready to change this world. Finishing Touches reveals the fine-tuning God needs to accomplish in every believer for them to be truly fulfilled. This insightful and practical advice will help readers make changes, enabling them to finish their call. Topics include the ability to stay in unity, the importance of your thoughts and words, the power of personal worship, the Peter Pan syndrome, and Spirit-led leadership. Readers will learn the joy of surrendering to His plan for their life—a life filled with purpose, peace, and love.
