make this book such an effective tool. You reached the International #1 Best Selling Author status with this within 24 hours. That has to feel incredible--a major personal achievement. Tell us about this honor, what makes it special and why. Dr. Angela: I don’t know if that has even sunk in yet! While I know that I physically wrote the book, the process was undoubt- edly guided by God. Of course, I am so happy that the book has resonated with people. However, for me it is about the message. I get most excited when I see how people’s lives are changed. I feel that those moments are the real reasons why this book exists. The message and the breakthroughs associated with the message are what moti- vate me more than anything else. I am grateful just to be able to watch this entire journey unfold. HimPower: What else can you tell us about yourself or the book that might interest our HimPower Family? Dr. Angela: More than anything else I want the HimPower Family to know that every person is equipped with gifts that are specific to them. Everyone’s road to their success is different. The goal is to become a student of yourself and tap into those gifts. My journey is proof that sometimes the dream is bigger than we can imagine. The power of being intentional in our thinking and in our actions is beyond imagination. This book is purposely written to be read quickly and easily applied. I did not want the reader to feel overwhelmed by the infor- mation. The book includes affirmations to mentally equip the reader for their journey and there is also an action plan to get them MOVING even before the book ends! It is my prayer that anyone who reads the book is impacted in a positive way and that they discover the beauty of their purpose.  Dr. Angela Anderson is the CEO of Dr. Angela Speaks and recognized worldwide as a lead- ership and organizational expert.
