Purpose Awakening: Discover the Epic Idea that Motivated Your Birth

by Touré Roberts

Purpose Awakening, the breakout book of international speaker Touré Roberts, is about that transformational moment when you are awakened to the purpose of your life. Your life began with a brilliant thought in God's mind. Your purpose, therefore, is the awakening to that thought. In this groundbreaking book, Touré introduces a new way to perceive the meaning of purpose. As he "You don't find purpose; purpose finds you." In fact, purpose conceived you; it was the catalyst for your birth.

This thought-provoking book opens with the revolutionary concept that "Every life began as an epic idea." This new way of finding your purpose will empower you and change your life forever. You haven't even begun to live until you find out why you are here.

Touré uses personal stories, humor, and eye-opening analogies to take you on a transformational journey. You will learn how to discover your unique purpose, know God's voice, identify and choose purpose mates, end wrong relationships, put an end to fear, grow your faith, and so much more.

Purpose Awakening will also give you a relatable and practical guide that will instill confidence, peace, and fulfillment by demystifying the journey to purpose, and enabling you to discover your own unique awakening. Being more than just a "feel good book," Purpose Awakening provides true direction and gives parameters that guide the purpose-seeker. It will set you on a life-changing course to discovering the good idea concerning your life and the joys of seeing it fulfilled.

There are so many good nuggets planted throughout this book. I appreciate how the author wrote as he was speaking to me one on one. I also loved how any time I had a question about a point made, it was answered in the next paragraph. I recommend this book for. Anyone trying to discover their purpose or anyone who knows their purpose but just lost their way.

This book changed my life 360 degrees. I could sense the change in me during the course of reading, and once I finished the book, I was no more the same person. The book puts you right on ur course of destiny and makes you run for it.

An extraordinarily exceptional book, written with bust of truthfulness and honesty.

Love! Love! Love! I've been attending his church for a year and a half now and this book is just as amazing as his services. I've read it multiple times since purchased because you can't get it all in just one read.

Awesome Read!

This book has really inspired me to live the life I know God is calling me to live. A life that comes naturally to me because it was created and given to me by God.

[Courtney Elayne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was amazing. It was one of the first books that I read when I began my spiritual journey within christ. Once I opened it, I could not put it down!

This book is God sent! Its really reads like a guide. I have read this book from cover to cover twice and picked it up on several occasions to read the sections of the book that was applicable to the season I was experiencing in life. This book provides key steps on how to begin your journey in finding purpose and saying goodbye to the things or people holding you back! If you ever felt STUCK in life....I would definitely recommend this book!

I am blown away! Five stars are not enough to explain how mind blowing this book is. Toure Roberts took a different approach in explaining what purpose is and how you are awakened to it. What has been revealed and taught in this book is a treasure. I am definitely re-reading this book over and over again. The knowledge in this book needs to sink deep within me so I can live what I have read daily.

Really a 3.5.

It took me 3 years to finish this short book (under 200 pages). There’s some good tidbits in here but the book is also very broad, abstract, and repetitive. My mother recommended I read it after she did. She gave it rave reviews and while parts were good, it was all right. I can’t say I feel a massive change, but there are things that made me think and feel motivated about.

Honestly, I think the book could’ve been shorter.

I've rarely highlighted books as thoroughly as I highlighted these pages. I read Purpose Awakening from cover to cover within a couple weeks time and took so many notes in my journal as I processed it. As soon as I finished reading it, I passed it forward to a friend because I knew it was going to be just as life changing for her to read it.

[Peggy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This such an awesome book. I picked it up and couldn't put it down. I read it in a day and a half!!! If you have ever wondered... Why am I here? What is my purpose? This book is a guide to help you answer those and many more questions on your identity and purpose!

Directional on a Journey that’s Uniquely You.....

This book came at a perfect time in my life. I’m recently divorced and had poured all of me into my ex husband. With not a clue of which way to go next it was this book that gave me guidance for myself. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to find purpose for their life. I gave it 5 stars because it truly a road map to a better path.

Loved this book!

[Susan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received this book through Goodreads first-reads.



This book is meant for those who are trying to figure out what their God given purpose for this life is. I did not agree with every point put forth in the book, however there are many good insights to help put one on the right path. Some of these insights can be applied immediately and some take more time to develop and transition into your life. It opens up the truth of the way that God sees you and His unconditional love for you. A big part of the book that I agree with is the power of your words and thoughts. Most do not realize how important this is and just how much it affects what is manifested into your life, as the Bible says the power of life and death are in the tongue.

Excellent book regarding how we discover the reason we were born. Its not this exhaustive journey we are forced to take, but rather one we awaken to, that evolves along with us along the way. Highly recommend for anyone that's remotley curious about discovering their purpose. You may have to endure some Hollywood references...but aside from that, its a great read.

[Monique Hardin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was overall a good read....I struggled to remain interested in the beginning but the last 6 chapters drove it home.

[Tee · Rating 4 out of 5]

There were some really good points made by the Author . I enjoyed the early chapters of the book but struggled to keep going once I felt the point was made.
