[Adrienna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pursuing your Purpose is an inspirational, motivational read. Carl Mathis has 5 chapters that speak on appreciating life, evaluating your purpose, controlling your purpose, examining your purpose and mastering your purpose. He adds examples, parables, and metaphors or analogies to get the gist of your purpose in simple terms. Sometimes we have to have a visual picture before we can see it happen in our very lives.

He further elaborates on not storing your gifts/talents/abilities since many of us sleep on our dreams and unable to focus to make it a reality. This also reminds me of a similar phrase shared in a movie entitled “Jackson’s Run” that speaks on the “dash” and how are we spending our life in-between birth and death. Moreover, we have to make our lives count! He expounds that we should be engaged or surrounded with like-minded people that have different strengths in which will help us in our weaknesses.

In the first chapter, he gives parables from the Bible and shares about taking valuable advice from others. In the second chapter, it is about letting go of the past and moving forward, including when to stop things that are not working and not holding onto burdens that weighs you down. In the third chapter, people can agree to disagree by doing this constructively and still committed to working together. Moreover, we are to search for our real value. In chapter four, he shares about the “spirit of fear” from what the Bible tells us and how many of us continuously fear something that defeats our purpose. It can be from our thoughts and words that causes us to feel like failures, no-bodies, and will not pursue what we were called to do. It ultimately restricts movement where we stop all pursuits to our divine purpose or calling. So we are to leave the unknown behind by acknowledging the change in you by seeking more knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. In chapter five, he covers how to master growth and development by renewing our minds. He also challenges us to stand and pursue our purpose without stopping.

I would recommend this read for those who need encouragement, motivation, and to pursue their purpose.

This could have been a good book, but the writing was awful and there must have been no editing done. I guess I shouldn't expect much with a free book... There was a good message in there somewhere, but I had a very hard time finding it.

Church family members and friends l've read many books, but Pursuing Your Purpose by Pastor Carl Mathis is spritually awakening and edifying which gives a person a positive sense of direction.
