Called to Be - Discovering PurposeAuthorHouse, 14 հնվ, 2008 թ. - 160 էջ Mile markers along life's highway may appear to be aseries ofdisconnected events. However,the miraculous encounter on Texas'FM1960 and theauthor'snearly 40 year journey suggest otherwise. Buckle up for a journey intoa collection of events that provide great insight into the discovery of purpose. The author's apparently disconnected mile markers formed waypoints targeting "PURPOSE" as his final destination with God being the Guide. Each leg of his trip when considered as a whole, produced an incrediblelife map. The crooked roadways winding as circuitous pathways led uphill towards the summit of his calling in life. His journey revealed instories, processes, and related Scriptures illustrate the many ways God speaks to us. Further, the writings encourage readers to prayerfully, thoughtfully, and truthfully examine their own mile markers.A chapter is included toassist this discovery process. Why publish this discovery process? Is it vanity? Is it therapeutic?According to the author, hemakes public his personal experiences to encourage, inspire, and share hope/peace/joy ... to illustrate that God is real and plays a visible role in our lives. It is God that calls us to purpose, equips us for service, and guides us to completion. |
