Purpose, Passion & Pursuit

In his writing, Purpose Passion & Pursuit, Peter E. Donaldson intelligently and quite eloquently stirs the nest of complacency and challenges us to make the rest the best: 'You are worth as much as you think you are worth. So why devalue yourself?' In Chapter 5, Puzzle Pieces, he explores the concept and understanding of purpose by examining three rudiments being: Origin, Process, and Time. In this section, he brilliantly unfolds the truth that 'our purpose has everything to do with God's divine plan and nothing to do with happenstance.' If you're like me, then you're all about obtaining a better, more fulfilled life. If you're looking for the place where you really fit and can be your authentic you, then read on! (Pastor Richard J. Brown, Kingsway Community Life Centre). Peter's sage words come to us out of the abundance of his lived experience with God. Even more, they come at a time when people, the world over, are searching in every corner for true meaning in life. Chapter after chapter, like a teacher who expounds knowledge, he lays a new plank upon which the foundation of pursuing purpose is built. In these pages, his encounters with God unfold as they are seasoned with his unabashed belief in the Word of God, which gives weight and authority to them. What a captivating read! Honestly, where was this book, with these transforming expressions, when I was assessing the rudiments of my own destiny and just launching out into life? That's precisely the point. Pursuing your best life doesn't begin today and end tomorrow-it's a lifetime experience that uncovers God's supreme destiny for you. If after reading this prophetic volume, you are challenged to change the trajectory of your life, then it was well worth the read. If not, I invite you to pick it up again and comb through these pages to fully grasp how it is certainly possible to passionately pursue your God-ordained purpose. As a result, your life, obviously, will never be the same again! (Pastor John M. Scott, Director, Youth/Young Adult Ministries, Ontario Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists).
