Book Description

Deep inside every one of us is a God-planted purpose. Something meaningful. Something that matters. Despite your past or present season, God has created you and me on purpose ... with a purpose. You may have allowed your perception of what's possible to shrink, and as a result many of your dreams have remained buried under a mountain of caution, doubt, and fear. The big dream now seems too risky and unrealistic. How would you even begin? After all, your thoughts are of an earlier time, the foolishness of a fantasy, perhaps the same type of fantasy as winning the lotto. You might hope or dream, but you don't believe. My mission is to help you resurrect God's purpose and plan for your life, not your plan. So who am I? A pastor or a theologian? First and foremost, I am a child of God, just like you. I'm not a pastor, nor have I been to seminary. Aside from being a husband and a dad, I'm a business guy. A serial entrepreneur. A CEO. For the past 30 years, I've been in the trenches, helping people like you reach their goals. Ask yourself this question: what would you set out to accomplish if you had all the resources and knew you COULD NOT fail? Most believers will agree that God has a plan and purpose for each one of us, yet when asked what their specific plan and purpose is, regrettably ... they can't tell you. That's because most people struggle to define what will make them happy -- the American dream, the ideal career, a relationship, a certain house, a car, a specific level of income or lifestyle. We all want to know "What will make me happy, and how will I know when I get there?" When life has not worked out the way we imagined, it's natural to ask, "Why am I on the planet? Is this all there is? There must be more, right?" So what if God actually has a plan and purpose for your life? Wouldn't you want to know what it is? The truth is, God will begin to meet the desires of your heart as you pursue His plan and purpose. Closely examine these three truths that will change your life forever: Truth #1 - God has a master plan and purpose for your life. Truth #2 - God will reveal His plan (for you) to you. Truth #3 - No person or thing can stop His plan for you ... Except You! Whether you are a believer, an unbeliever, churched, de-churched, or un-churched, God stands ready to prove to you that He exists, that He loves you, that He has a plan and purpose for your life, and that His plan will completely fulfill you. Furthermore, no person, event, or circumstance can stop you from fulfilling His plan, except you, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE not to identify it, pursue it, and fulfill it. If you knew that God, who created not only you but this entire world, was offering to help you, would you let Him? God desires a relationship with you that will become stronger through your struggles. So will you accept God's purpose and master plan for your life? Together, we will explore a set of personal development stages you must go through as you identify and fulfill His master plan and purpose for your life. You might find yourself in more than one of these stages at a time. Each stage is a good stage, and every stage is a growth stage. The names I have given each stage are merely for clarity. The first six stages (chapters) of this book will help you set a solid foundation for your journey. Without these foundational principles under your feet, you are likely to fail. Stages 7 and 8 will help you get started identifying God's master plan and purpose for your life. Stages 9 and 10 deal with God's ability to provide everything you need to accomplish that goal. Wow! God thought of everything! Expect the Holy Spirit to be your personal mentor as you read this book, helping you convert the information into knowledge you can use to fulfill God's plan and purpose for your life. God has put six words on my heart for you as you begin this amazing journey. FEAR NOT. BELIEVE ONLY. GET READY.
