Your purpose will unlock the secret to living a meaningful life, building a successful career, and making a difference in the world. Knowing your purpose will determine how well you do and how far you go.

The Purpose Driven Church


Book Description

The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.

Whether you've just started your first job, are leading a team, or are CEO of your own company, the exercises in this book will help guide you on a path to long-term success and fulfillment, for both you and your colleagues.

You Are Here for a Reason


Book Description

What an inspirational story and from someone who didnt believe she had anything worth sharing. She has fought multiple chronic illnesses for years on her own because of the failure of medical professionals to diagnose and because none of them were taking her seriously. While on her spiritual journey, accepting her clairvoyance and other psychic gifts, she is finally ready to share this for the first time outside of her immediate family. After years of denying her real self, she questioned her psychic visions of Amanda Berry and the house of horrors twenty-four hours before Amanda and the other two women were rescued. She also knew the location of Daniel Morcombes remains one year after his disappearance but, because she questioned her ability, found it difficult to come forward. She received the information after dabbling with automatic writing for the first time. And at another time, she heard a voice warning her of impending danger while in the car with her partner, which ultimately saved their lives yet again. It took forces from beyond to prevent Celeste and her family from going on several holidays that would have placed them in danger, like the second Bali bombing and the tsunami in Thailand, just to name a few. It took several random psychics stopping her in the street and passing on messages from her guides to wake her up to the possibility that her multiple near-death experiences were a sign she had forces from the other side working hard to keep her alive. Ultimately, she realised that all her illnesses were manifesting because of her inner turmoil that wasnt being addressed and that it was all connected. She realised how, along the journey of life, she seemed to lose her identity and lifes purpose and how she managed not only to regain her health balance but rediscover the little girl she had long lost.
