Great book and Bible Study

I'm using this book as a Bible study with 16 others and it is very good. There's plenty of questions to stimulate discussion as well as Bible and everyday life examples of the concepts. Truly empowering.

Letter to the author of Understanding Purpose

I received this letter from a reader who gave her permission to have it posted here. "Thank you for your hours of love and study in preparation for Understanding Purpose. I have just finished the 12-week course. I began a bit skeptical wondering what God had in store for me during this time. At age 58, having been a Christian for 20 years, I didn't think I was questioning my purpose. My role in life seemed clear. Yet 2 years ago my nest became no longer empty as my mother moved in and my husband I became caregivers. (Gosh, this wasn't what I had planned!) To be honest, I understood my purpose; I was struggling to accept it. Your book has helped me: (1) in knowing the certainty of God's direction in this matter--security I needed; (2) it confirmed the significance in all I do--that even in the little things I represent the Lord; (3) it awarded me warrior status (it often feels like a battle) while knowing I am part of the Blessed Alliance, never alone. What encouragement! The ladies in our class were from 25 to 70 years old and very much appreciated the discussion stimulated from the study. The highlight of my several years of leading studies came from the most quiet young lady in class last week. Through tears she told me what this Understanding Purpose has meant to her."
