Yes, we are here for a purpose. Yes, we want to honor God's reasons for making us. If you have been living for yourself, this book should turn you around and point you in a better direction.

However...

It is surely possible that God's purpose in making us will never be apparent to us, here on earth. Who am I to demand otherwise? What if my life is one thread of blue in an elaborate tapestry, and the grand picture will only become apparent on the other side of eternity?

I desire to be driven, if driven is the right term, by a desire to please the God I love. And why "driven"? Is that what God expects of us? To be driven?

Our significance should come from our intrinsic value to God, as someone He has created, not by what we can do to serve Him.

For the most part, the American church is already much too focused on "doing for God" and not nearly enough on "being with God." This book doesn't help.
