Practice Makes PURPOSE Workbook: A Pathway to Personal Growth and Community Transformation

by C. Paul Schroeder

This is a companion volume to Practice Makes PURPOSE: Six Spiritual Practices That Will Change Your Life and Transform Your Community. The Six Spiritual Practices are a new formulation of a very old set of teachings and disciplines. If you apply them regularly, you will have more energy and vitality, more focus, more compassion, more clarity, and more joy. And these effects will ripple outward into your marriage and family, your parenting, your workplace, your friendships, your neighborhood and city.

The Practice Makes PURPOSE Workbook contains questions for reflection, exercises, and journaling pages with inspiring quotes from the book. Use the workbook as you read to magnify the impact of the book and help you more deeply integrate the Six Practices into your daily life. These practices will connect you and the people around you to Purpose, the experience of belonging to something infinitely greater than ourselves.
