What does S.H.A.P.E. mean to you?

As people complete the S.H.A.P.E. Assessment and move into the joyful process of discovering their unique “shape” and using their newfound skills and talents to bring greater glory to God, they share their feelings with us. Other Christian authors have also added their thoughts on this powerful new book!

"Now, in this wonderful, long-needed book, written by Erik Rees, we have a more thorough, in-depth explanation of the implications and applications of S.H.A.P.E. Erik has served at my side at Saddleback Church for ten years. As our pastor of ministry, his job is to help people in our church family discover their S.H.A.P.E., find their niche, and experience the joy of being what God created them to be. He is passionate about helping people unlock their God-given potential, and I can say without any reservation that Erik understands more about helping you discern and develop your S.H.A.P.E. than any other person on the planet. This book will undoubtedly become the standard text on this subject in many schools."
