Publisher's summary

Modern life can seem like being lost in a jungle. With distractions and dangers emerging from every direction, it's easy to lose focus. Over time, we lose touch with one of our most powerful, purposeful, God-given attributes - the desire to be fruitful and multiply, what Bishop T. D. Jakes calls our "instinct for increase".

Combining historical, cultural, and personal examples with biblical insights, in Instinct Bishop Jakes outlines how to rediscover your natural aptitudes and reclaim the wisdom of your past experiences. When attuned to divinely inspired instincts, you will become in sync with the opportunities life presents and discover a fresh abundance of resources. Knowing when to close a deal, when to take a risk, and when to listen to your heart will become possible when you're in touch with the instincts that God gave you.

Bishop T. D. Jakes - iconic preacher, best-selling author, and entrepreneur - has inspired millions of people around the world. Here he writes from the peak of his personal power about how to experience the satisfaction of a life well lived. If you long to conquer the jungles of life, Instinct offers the personal and professional tools needed to navigate your course successfully and according to God's design.

Must read!

This a life-changer. Could not put it down. Really speaks to critical issues central to actualizing our potential and living out our destiny/purpose.

Moving,

You could not be in the same place you started, when you finish this book

Great book terrible narrator

Loved the contents of this book but the choppy reading made it hard to gain the principles that this book contains. I plan to buy a copy and read because the information is transformative.

great read

It encouraged me to pursue the opportunities in front of me. After seeking mentorship for a high level leader I am now working on his team because I chose to follow my instincts. Thank you Bishop

A great help

For this wonderful resource, I will forever be indebted to you and your guidance in Jesus Christ

A narrator other than T.D. Jakes is distracting...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this audiobook because the messages offered by T. D. Jakes are as powerful as ever. I'd warn my friend, however, that the narrator seems to be mimicking Jakes's boisterous verbal delivery. T. D. Jakes's voice is so largely recognizable that hearing another narrator attempt to sound like him is quite distracting. I wish that T. D. Jakes had narrated this incredibly inspirational audiobook himself.

What other book might you compare Instinct to and why?

I'd compare this book with other T. D. Jakes books.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Instinct?

Consciously following my instincts rather than waiting to see what will arrive in my life by chance.

True Life Lessons!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Instinct to be better than the print version?

What a great book. The life lessons that TD Jakes share are very useful ideas. The book talks about knowing yourself and why its important to find out your God given gifts. My only wish is that TD Jakes Narrated the book. Mr Ezra Knight 's voice made it very difficult to keep listening to the book.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ezra Knight?

Yes, Mr. Jakes. Someone a little less dramatic in his voice.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

A Giraffe doesn't have to be taught to be a giraffe. Sometimes you have to be aware when you are a giraffe in a room full of turtles.

Any additional comments?

Great book , I will read it again.

Follow your instincts

A pretty good book on following your instincts. And practical advice of things to watch out for when moving to the next level in your life. 👌

more to me. . .

I have been able to do deeper reflections that I am now able to shine through my actions as I balance and grow my instinct and intellect.

Amazing Read

This book was a great eye opening to me, it taught me to listen more closely to the voice within and to follow and discover my instincts.
