Pacific Book: “This book can be quite eye opening to Christians and non-Christians alike...” Clarion "The self-help text Discovering and Embracing Your Life Purpose encourages developing an understanding of God’s personalized plan for each person...” Blue ink “The author is undeniably encouraging and accomplishes his goal of providing doable steps for discovering our purpose in life...” This book has been my dream to write. It truly is my life’s purpose illustrated in words. It begins by taking you on a personal journey by peering into a man by the name of Tim and his life. We do not come by knowing our purpose when we first entered this world. There are no instructions or clear guidelines given to us, but there are clues. Many of us never even find our purpose and thus never live the life we were created for. My attempt in this book is to provide the clues or “Puzzle pieces” that I believe were not only put within us to find but are also discovered outside of us through life choices (good and bad). Tim’s story illustrates how in his life and mistakes he made he was able to discover some of those clues and be able to take Pain and turn it into triumph and purpose. For us to understand our purpose and reason for our very existence it entails that we start asking some questions and start searching for answers. Although finding one’s purpose is not necessarily easy it is worth the search as once you find your purpose you find fulfillment, joy, love, and a sense of meaning. Each chapter is another puzzle piece to help you discover what your purpose may be. Personally, I discovered mine after much pain and a lot of mistakes. Ultimately, I found it in my relationship with God. As you read you will begin to find and discover the clues to your purpose and my hope is it will keep you motivated to keep searching. As you venture through the book you will begin to discover your strengths, talents, gifts, passions, temperament, Love Language, Personality style, and Personality type. Various assessments, and tests have been provided as well as web sites to assist to identify each of these areas to help you better understand what you purpose is. My hope is that as you better understand yourself and what makes you who you are your Purpose will be revealed. Once you do then I believe your life will unfold with a greater sense of meaning and purpose with a desire to live out your purpose in service to others. I end with these 2 quotes. “There is no greater calling than to serve your fellow men, there is no greater contribution than to help the weak, there is no greater satisfaction than to have done it well” Walter Reuther. “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” Mathew 20:28.

Embracing Purpose is a Bible study and small group process designed to satisfy a God-given longing that most people experience at some point in their lives: we want to make a difference. We want to give our lives away to something beyond ourselves. But we don't know how. The Embracing Purpose package, which includes a workbook, a 10-message DVD series and Leader's Guide, offers everything a church needs to equip women to find, love and live their God-given purpose (and everything an individual needs to discover her purpose). Participants who complete the course will come away with answers to two key questions -Who am I? and What am I to do with the time, talents and treasures God has given me? They will have discovered and labeled their unique design from God, written a purpose statement and developed a purpose plan for walking out their purpose.Embracing Purpose self-discovery workbook has four components--a narrative of the author's own journey toward purpose, a Bible study to explore the biblical foundation for pursuing a life of purpose, self-discovery exercises and stories of women who are living out their God-given purpose. The video messages do not repeat the content found in the workbook but supplement it with additional concepts, primarily focusing on barriers or roadblocks that are common to women.

Best-selling author Kathleen Norris provides a unique viewpoint of “what matters most,” including: Belief Matters: Why does belief matter? To what do we give our hearts? What is the core message of what we believe—creeds or commitment? To what extent is to believe also “to belove”? The Bible Matters: The Bible is our collective story. How is that story reflected in our daily lives? What is it about the Bible that always seems to address our present moment? Community Matters: In community, individualism and imperfection meet grace and acceptance. What is our part in the Body of Christ? Place Matters: In what ways is faith set within the physical space of home, church, land and people? We Matter: What it means to remain in God’s image and to counter our selfishness by embracing the world and its needs? Ideal for adult and young-adult small groups, Christian educators, clergy, chaplains and campus ministries. SOLD SEPARATELY. Also available is the Embracing a Life of Meaning Small-Group DVD. Each of the five DVD sessions begins with a 10-15 minute video presentation by Kathleen Norris followed by filmed interaction with a diverse small group of adults. This Participant’s Workbook then helps your own local small group “join the conversation.” This book includes all study materials need by participants and those who lead. Each participant will need one copy.
