• Danny's Book, "Building Your Life by Owner's Design" is a practical heartfelt guide line to guarding and growing in discipline and spiritual depth. It goes beyond the soft devotional steps of many today that know about Jesus- but do not know HIM. It will bless you. Dr Don Boone FBC Vancleave, Mississippi
• "The design determines the finished product. That is why we spend large sums of money to hire architects to design our homes. In this book Danny Von Kanel has shown that building a life is far more important than building a building, or piece of furniture and following the design laid out by the Master Designer assures a wonderful “finished product.” Danny explains that building a life is an ongoing process that unfolds with each life stage but following the Master’s design at each stage of development assures a life lived in constant concert with the maestro. I commend this wonderful read to all."

• “Building Your Life by the Owner’s Design” (The Positive Approach to Building Your Life God’s Way) by Danny Von Kanel is a practical and quick read. If I was to sum it up in a word, it would be the famous word we have all heard from our GPS device: "Recalibrating." The section that hit home with me the most was entitled, "Careless Design" and the enticing introduction was as follows: "Most of our church members build their lives using the careless design blueprint. Almost all are unaware they are using this design. They are living nonchalantly as if in a Dream. They would say they are living the way Christ would want them
to live. . ." Von Kanel goes on to outline the problem of careless design, as we (church members),
Substitutes Church Attendance/Involvement for Personal Intimacy
Slants More Towards The Law Than Grace
Spoil Opportunities for Abundant Living
You are probably already ready to read it. You should. It will be helpful and insightful and it just might "recalibrate." Dr. Allen Jackson, Professor of Youth Education and Collegiate Ministry Director of the Youth Ministry Institute at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
