Overflowing by Kyle Farran explores how to grow in Christ and be genuinely used by God, focusing on the heart rather than just actions. Drawing from biblical examples and scriptures like 2 Timothy 2:21 and Matthew 25:21, the book emphasises becoming a vessel for God by cultivating a heart that pleases Him. Readers are guided to understand the importance of worship over mere work, the barriers of sin, and the pursuit of holiness, joy, love, and bold discipleship, aiming for a life that overflows with meaning and earns the commendation of 'well done'.

Discover how to be used of God and hear "well done".

Want to grow in Christ?

Want to be used by God as a "vessel for honour" (2 Timothy 2:21)?

Want to hear "well done"? (Matthew 25:21)

In our zeal to glorify God and be used by Him, we have a tendency to rely on doing things for God. However, when God chose to use certain individuals in the Bible, it wasn't because of their efforts or abilities. God was looking at their heart. God wants worshippers who work, not workers who worship. There is a vast difference between the two.

God still searches hearts. Will you be found by God as pleasing to Him? You can become a person that is useful to God—not because of the great things you do, but because of a heart that pleases Him. Who you are is more important than what you do, because what you do flows out of who you are.

The goal of this book is to see your service to God become an overflow of the heart. You cannot minister from an empty cup.

Make your life count for eternity!

Paul L. Davis, President of ABWE International, praises Overflowing as a 'heart book' filled with insightful biblical reflection rather than a theological treatise. He highlights its practical value for ministry, offering a gentle and honest examination of pride, humility, sin, holiness, joy, and discouragement. The book supports ministry workers in assessing their souls and motivations, enabling more effective and joyful service to God.
