Soul Sustenance: Your Beautiful Purpose

I recently had a chance to read Your Beautiful Purpose: Discovering and Enjoying What God Can Do Through You. Written by radio host Susan Larson, Your Beautiful Purpose helps readers discover meaning in their lives - no matter what that meaning is. The book emphasizes finding God's calling, and living it out faithfully and joyfully, whether it's to do "great" things or not.

The nice thing about this book is its versatility. It works fine as an individual study, with questions and prompts at the end of each chapter to help personalize the Biblical message for the individual reader. These questions could also be used as part of a Bible study group, and there is a companion DVD that would be even more appropriate for group use as well.

I like the addition of prayers at the end of each section. It's hard for me to really think of nice prayers, especially about the abstract, so the prayers in the sections helped me really focus my thoughts and reflections. I am planning on bringing this forward as a suggestion for our next book for my church's Moms' Bible Study.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary e-copy to facilitate this review.
