Book Overview
What makes you special? In this intriguing book, the best-selling Linns help readers discover what makes each of us special, the one purpose of each individual's life underlying all decisions and activities, the "sealed orders" from God that go beyond what we do, to who we really are. This special purpose of being is ours alone; it is what gives our life meaning. Combining spirituality, psychology, and medicine, as well as their own intimate stories, the Linns provide concrete ways to help readers discover their own purpose through their experiences of love, their life circumstances, their inherent faults, other people, and nature. Each chapter ends with an exercise for the individual, and the book concludes with a process for group sharing. These six sessions can be easily adjusted to suit the group's need. Heavily illustrated in full color, Healing the Purpose of Your Life helps both individuals and groups create an environment of meaning. It's a title not only for the growing number of Linn fans but for general self-help readers, spiritual directors, youth ministers, and counselors. It's also a wonderful book for families, faith-sharing groups, youth groups, recovery groups, and groups for the divorced, the unemployed, and the bereaved. +

Symbolic approach to looking at your life's purpose
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I loved this book - it uses a nice story telling approach to demonstrating a non-literal approach to looking at your life's purpose - avoids some of the more formal and less humanistic approaches to looking at life - great read when you are looking to bring back humanity into your life's purpose.
Sealed Orders
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book was recommended to me by my godmother. My faith background was strongly scriptural but lacked meaning. This book has enabled me to connect with a sense of purpose and life that each of us shares a special connection with God. That He created us with a specific purpose and gave us gifts to enable us to engage in our mission for Him. That He placed His Great Seal on those orders and sent us to earth. This book enabled me to look at the work that I do with a greater understanding of why I find it so spiritually draining even though I am "good at it" in the natural. Thank you Dennis, Matthew and Sheila for sharing God's words and helping us all remember why we are here.
