Cure for the Common Life

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this inspiring and motivating book by author Max Lucado. I presently find myself at a crossroads in my life and career so it has been especially helpful and applicable as I take time to think, pray and take stock of my life – past, present and future. To see what my personal dreams, hopes, desires and goals are.

I’ve been reading a number of books on finding your strengths, gifts and talents which have been very good and helpful But “The Cure for the Common Life” takes it one step further than many of the traditional books do. It gives it the spiritual and Bible based motivation which to me gives it that extra something that can make a wonderful difference!

I whole heartedly agree with Max, that it’s not just a matter of find a job or working to support your family. These are important, yes, but we were made to and CAN do so much more! We can fulfill our destiny by finding out what we were created for and to do. And by fulfilling this, the calling for my life, it gives so much more meaning to life to where it’s not just me, but my life can be used to God’s glory and in service to Him and others.


Disclosure: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
