Perfecting Your Purpose
40 Days to a More Meaningful Life
by David Ireland
Summary
David Ireland argues that the world desperately needs people who live into their purpose, as designed by God. He believes that this is the secret to becoming warriors—fighting for a cause greater than ourselves.
When we find our purpose, we become people of conviction. We feel so strongly about the work that we do, that we are willing to take great risk, unwilling to back down or give up in the face of difficulty. We become people who face trial and struggle, knowing that our purpose will outlast our pain. People who stand on our beliefs, even if it means standing alone.
We become people who spend our days being who we were meant to be and doing what we were created to do. So that our very lives become an act of worship to our Creator.
