But it's hard! Stress and overwhelm have taken many people out of the game, and kept others from getting started. Interpersonal conflicts, unrealistic expectations and crushing demands often derail our best intentions.
Spiritual teacher and leadership mentor Mark Brouwer understands how life can can keep us from going the distance, or at least rob us of our joy along the way.
Picking up where Rick Warren's "Purpose Driven Life" book left off, Brouwer examines the things that keep us from living out that purpose. Specifically it deals with seven common roadblocks that trip us up, and keep us from doing work that matters. In this book, you will learn:
--How to deal with the sense that there’s never enough time to do what matters most
--How to discern divine guidance on your path of service
--How to manage anxiety and overwhelm
--How to handle people who suck your enthusiasm
--How to develop the grit to keep going… or decide to change course
Here's what people are saying about this book ...
"If you feel like it's time to level up your game, and make a bigger difference -- this book will show you how. Mark is someone who knows what he's writing about. He's lived it, and he's helped equip leaders around the world to maximize their impact." -- Paula Rizzo, Media Consultant, Author of "Listfully Thinking"
"Mark writes from broad experience and with real discernment, clarity, and above all, common sense. He's immensely helpful."-- Cornelius Plantinga, Jr., author of "Not the Way It's Supposed to Be"
"This is a timeless message, and it couldn't come at a more important time. It helps clear away the overwhelm, confusion, and distraction that gets in the way of people doing the important work of their lives." -- Mark Laaser, author of "The Seven Desires of Every Heart" and "The Fight of Your Life"
"In a world filled with anxiety, busyness and disappointment, happiness can seem so elusive. Mark Brouwer reflects on this with a pastor's heart and offers guidance that is both realistic and hopeful, helping us take the long view of a life well lived."-- John D. Witvliet, Director of Calvin Institute for Christian Worship
"I love this book so much! Nuanced, clear, and comprehensive. It deals with a variety of challenges, and many of them seem like they were written specifically for my situation. Many will benefit from this material ... and want to hear even more."-- Teresa McBean, Executive Director of National Association for Christian Recovery
"Practical help from someone who has been there! This book will equip, encourage, and challenge leaders in ministry. It addresses big questions with clarity and conciseness. I have known Mark for nearly 20 years, and this a great distillation of his heart-felt wisdom. It is a wonderful guide in complex times!"-- Jul Medenblik, President, Calvin Theological Seminary
