The Pursuit of Purpose

Have you ever wondered if your life has deeper meaning beyond what your are currently living for?


The desire to attain material things, relationships, and accomplishments with the hope of producing happiness has become one of the strongest motivations influencing our lives today. Yet for so many people who have attained everything they desire, something still seems to be missing.


The Pursuit of Purpose calls out the empty promises found in today's cultural norm of living for our own happiness. There is a better way, one that can lead to true fulfillment, and it begins by discovering our purpose.


This book explores five building blocks of purpose that have the power to reveal our calling and produce the faith needed to pursue it. You'll hear stories of people who each had a unique encounter with purpose that changed their lives: Michael Phelps, Brené Brown, Rebekah Gregory, Louise Zamperini, and others.


If you are looking for something more out of life than the endless search for happiness, The Pursuit of Purpose provides the tools and encouragement to help you find true fulfillment. We each have a purpose and the world is waiting for us to share it!
