This book may be the most important book that you will hear this year. I had such a divinely inspired sense of urgency to write it that I know God was trying to get it out as soon as possible to the audience that I was purposed to touch. What you will hear in this book may alter the course of your life. At best, it will help give you greater clarity than ever on God's vision and purpose for your life. At worst, it will give you a great sense of confirmation that you're going about discovering your life's purpose in the right way. This book was written to help anyone who is trying to discover their God-given purpose and move forward into it, despite the opposition of competing voices known as the "you shoulds". The "you shoulds" often come from well-meaning people in our lives. People like our parents, coaches, teachers, religious leaders, siblings, and friends. This book is for young people who are searching for their life's purpose. This book is for the parents of young people that are trying to discover their purpose. This book is also for anyone considering a career change. Finally, it's for people who have realized that they've been on the wrong path, perhaps following someone else's "you should" vs. God's divine plan for their life.
