Personal encouragement and inspiration for finding your unique calling "Am I making a difference?" "Can I accomplish meaningful things despite the mistakes I've made?" "How can I know God's purpose for me?" As the true stories in Exceedingly demonstrate, whether famous or entirely unknown, we all struggle to find significance in our lives. But the truth is that each one of us has a special reason for being right here, right now--and we can discover exactly what that is. Anita Agers-Brooks walks through simple yet powerful strategies, skills, and exercises to do just that. Through practical application and inspiration from people like the late country music star Troy Gentry, readers will identify and hone their natural traits, raw talents, and untapped abilities. Uncovering our purpose doesn't require big personalities, perfect lives, or an issue-free past. We only have to make the effort to learn to see ourselves as God does and fulfill the personal purpose we were made for. Seekers who engage with Anita will find their quest leads to one amazing conclusion: if they unearth what they've been given and dare to believe, their Maker will do exceedingly, abundantly more with their lives than they've ever imagined.
Exceedingly by Anita Agers-Brooks is a wonderful book sharing faith and wisdom. It is written from the author's heart and she shares as a friend to a friend. A heartfelt, scripturally solid book, the author uses true stories and her own personal experiences to give encouragement to readers to find their purpose in life--to 'discover your passion for productive endeavors', 'to live on purpose, with purpose'. The goal of one's life to ultimately glorify God as we intentionally make a difference wherever we are. I like how she gives specific suggestions to help the reader begin to live with purpose. To live exhibiting a 'Now faith' instead of brooding about the past or being anxious about the future. Each of the chapter ends with a challenge, an exercise, a scripture, a purpose promise, and study and discussion prompts to enable the reader to internalize the truth the author shared in that particular chapter. Young and old alike will benefit from this inspirational book.
