Only You Can Be You church-hosted seminar tour - Plan a four-hour seminar to help members of your church and the community discover how God made them and what they've been specifically designed by God to do. These church-hosted seminars are based on S.H.A.P.E.: Finding & Fulfilling God's Purpose for Your Life, the new book by Saddleback Ministry Pastor Erik Rees.
