Purposefooled

Why Chasing Your Dreams, Finding Your Calling, and Reaching for Greatness Will Never Be Enough

What if you weren’t made for something great but for Someone great?

We often hear that we were made for more. Yet our modern understanding of what it means to live a meaningful life can feel more like a burden than a dream. What if the more that we crave is not something we achieve but something we receive?

In this provocative and deeply spiritual book, Bible teacher Kelly Needham explains the problem isn’t that we long for something more. The problem is what we believe “something more” is. We spend our lives chasing after verbs, when we were meant to live for the Noun. Using her own journey and creative retellings of Bible stories, Kelly offers insights into

• why our hearts long for a sense of purpose,
• how to hold the tension between seeking greatness and embracing the ordinary,
• what the Bible says about true world-changers,
• how modern technology affects our desires—and how to avoid its pitfalls, and
• why resting accomplishes more than producing.

As we recognize the source of our hunger for the extraordinary, we can move forward in freedom rather than feeling stuck in guilt or disappointment. We can discover how to build a purpose-filled reality without turning our life upside down—so we can embrace the joy today that we always assumed was somewhere down the road.

Refreshingly Simple

Kelly's openness to be honest with her struggles and how God grew her to know HIM and live for HIM was refreshingly simple.

Purpose is a person

Loved this reminder that I was created for Him and my purpose is fulfilled in Him. Thank you!

Our true purpose

This book was such a blessing! Seeing my soul purpose is not to use the blessings and gifts God has given us, but rather, the Creator God is our purpose! Cultivating and nurturing that relationship is our greatest purpose!!

I like so many have been purpose fooled, until this book! Thank you so much, Kelly, for sharing your heart and wisdom. The weight of fulfilling our God given purpose through our gifts is overwhelming! The freedom this book brought my heart and soul…I cannot put into words. So again thank you for pursuing our God and allowing His spirit to lead you.

Beautiful work

This book has changed my way of thinking thank you for your work. I hope this will change many more lives and that you will praise god for everything that you do
