At times, it almost seems as though the author is going to attempt to do the impossible, to show the reader exactly what his/her life's purpose should be. Considering the magnitude of the task, I believe that Aubrey does a good job of trying to accomplish that task without boring people with everyone else's life purpose. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering ministry or getting serious about their faith.

I purchased this book so that I could skim its insights on spiritual gifts. I am so glad that I spent the money just to skim it. As I perused the rest of the book it was filled with overly complicated distinctions between mission, vision, ministry direction, etc.

Don't waste your money on this. Malphurs has other books that are very good, but this is not one of them.

It goes over the information, but it's really not as life changing as the title would like to make it sound.

Good basic overview and integrates much wisdom from personality studies too. Very practical.
