Book Description

Best-selling author Myles Munroe reveals here the key to personal fulfillment: purpose. We must pursue purpose because our fulfillment in life depends upon our becoming what we were born to be and do. In Pursuit of Purpose will guide you on that path to finding purpose.

From the Back Cover

Purpose is the master of motivation and the mother of commitment. When nations, societies, communities, friendships, marriages, clubs, churches, countries or tribes lose their sense of purpose and significance, then confusion, frustration, discouragement, disillusionment and corporate suicide--whether gradual or instant--reign. This is evident in our world. In every nation there is a generation that seems to have lost their sense of purpose. They are out of touch with the values, morals and convictions that build strong families, secure communities, healthy societies and prosperous nations. Thus, the moral fabric of most societies is being stretched and tested to its outer limits.

You must realize that your fulfillment in life is dependent on your becoming and doing what you were born to be and do. For without purpose, life has no heart.

Dr. Myles Munroe has fashioned a compass that can focus you on the path toward fulfillment while providing the answer to the question, "Why am I here?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-Opening, September 10, 2002

This review is from: In Pursuit of Purpose (Paperback)

This book is a major revelation. I have heard many people talk about purpose. But, no one has made the principle of purpose and destiny as simple as Dr. Myles Munroe has. He discussed the fact the God is the manufacturer of people and when He releases them from eternity into time, it is for a specific purpose. He brings to light that God had a special assignment for every individual that he creates and when he sends them to earth, there is a specific way that they are supposed to impact the earth while they are here. He compares humans to a product and discusses the fact that the manufacturer of a product has in mind when he creates the product, what he wants the product to do. Interestingly, he says when the product is not used for its intended purpose, it is being abnormally used, which is abuse. He also goes on to discuss how each product comes with a warranty and the warranty is good as long as the product is used for which the manufacturer created it. Basically, when we obey God and do what God sent us here to do, he always covers us and because we are under his warranty, we can always go back to him and be restored even if we get broken. This is a must read for every believer that really wants to understand why God created them.

5.0 out of 5 stars finding your purpose, May 24, 2001

"July Lady" (MS United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Pursuit of Purpose (Paperback)

Mr. Myles lets you know if you are not doing what your purpose for life is, you will never be content, no matter the amount of success you may have. He reminds us that God already has a purpose for us, and no matter what we might try to accomplish if that was not our purpose for life, it might not be accomplished
