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.

Purpose is the master of motivation and the mother of commitment. 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?"

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

This is a super book and more! Doctor Myles Munroe provides readers with a true revelation as to their purposes for being, how to acheive those purposes in a righteous manner, and the consequences of failing to achieve the purposes for which they were created. As stated in the book's preface " The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but life without a reason. It is dangerous to be alive and not know why you were given life."

Upon writing this book a holistic approach is used by Dr. Munroe to guide the reader in the pursuit of his or her purposes . Purpose is displayed as relevant to all persons, places and things. It is also reflected as the original intent in the mind of its creator which provides not only for its creation, but also its achievement in a very select manner according to the creator's or manufacturer's plan. This book tells it all! The who, what, why, where, when, and how of the pursuit of purpose!

Dr. Munroe's many skills as a writer, international teacher, speaker, lecturer, evangelist, and advisor are all highly demonstrated throughout the book as he leads us in our pursuit of purpose.The Principles and Power of Vision

Much better than purpose driven life. Easy to read. Bulletpoints highlighted and summarized at end of each chapter. Clear and concise. Great read. Your life will be transformed by the insights this book reveals. I've read it twice now!

The idea that we all have a purpose is so true and the book started off well. I just found it to be too much of the same thing chapter after chapter and actually had a hard time finishing the book. What started out as an exciting read left me more than disappointed. Somehow I think it went off course for me about a third of the way in.

Book was outstanding! Dr. Munroe is profound in his teachings on purpose and why discovering it and operating in it will determine the course of our lives. I highly recommend this reading to anyone unsure, uncertain or not fulfilled in your life regarding your lifepath.

I have learned from this book that as I pursue my purpose there will be some challenging times, but as I trust the Lord and seek Him I know that I will fulfill my purpose and nothing can hinder or stop me but me.
