A Journey with a Purpose
This is more than a book; it is a guide to a 40-day spiritual journey that will enable you to discover the answer to life’s most important question: What on earth am I here for? By the end of this journey you will know God’s purpose for your life and will understand the big picture — how all the pieces of your life fit together. Having this perspective will reduce your stress, simplify your decisions, increase your satisfaction, and, most important, prepare you for eternity.
As I wrote this book, I often prayed that you would experience the incredible sense of hope, energy, and joy that comes from discovering what God put you on this planet to do. There’s nothing quite like it. I am excited because I know all the great things that are going to happen to you. They happened to me, and I have never been the same since I discovered the purpose of my life.
I want to challenge you to stick with this spiritual journey for the next 40 days. Make it a daily appointment.
—Rick Warren

The Men We Need by Brant Hansen (4.9/799). I bought this book for my 18yr old son, and HE READ IT (Wow!)
The Reason For God by Tim Keller (4.7/5898)
Your Path of Best Existence by Glenn Wollman (4.9/59)
The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren (4.8/15823)
God in my Everything by Ken Shegematsu (4.7/366)
Facing the Mountain by Daniel James Brown (4.7/ 3454)
Obviously these books have a Christian slant, but Wollman’s book is about healthy living, totally secular, and Brown’s book is a history book, regarding the heroism of Japanese Americans during World War II.
Simply put, buy them, read them, you’ll be glad you did.
The following review applies to several books, and I intend to copy and paste this review for each book. It has been a banner year for being introduced to hall-of-fame caliber books. The following list is chronological, the order in which I read the books or are reading the books. All these books are life changing. I’m not the only one who feels this way. Check out the Amazon (average rating, number of ratings for each book, as of March 29, 2024).

If you have nothing to do with church, this book is for you. If you’re in church and you think something is off, this book is for you. God has used this man to make changes in my life.

This really helped a colleague to establish his belief in Jesus as God, He’s now a born again believer.
As with any Christian literature this is a good tool but I encourage you to pray and ask God to reveal Himself to you that’s how you’ll really get to know Him.

Yes, this book is about the life in believing Jesus Christ, so some people may assume this book is about Christianity.
But it is not.
As God is beyond religion, Jesus Christ is also beyond religion.
To live a purpose driven life, you really need a Divine connection and that is possible through Jesus Christ and His teachings.
And, if you disagree, fine, find some other book.
For me this book is a pure gold🔥
