Why am I here? Many seek answers to this question but few find any that are fully satisfying. A soliloquy from the play Man of la Mancha reads: "I have seen men dying on the battlefield, their eyes filled with confusion, questioning why. I do not think they were asking why they were dying, but why had they ever lived." This book was written under the premise that life's deepest question, "Why am I here?" can be discovered each day. You will find a way of approaching life using wisdom that has been taught for centuries that provides you with an increasing ability to discover your place in the world. It may require some changes, but if you persist the result will be peace and purpose beyond anything you have previously experienced. Much like a global positioning system, it requires knowledge of where you are now and where you are going. Wikipedia says of global positioning systems (GPS): "It provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to worldwide users on a continuous basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth." This book teaches an approach to life that might be called GPS or God's Positioning System.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A lyrical and evocative collection of personal stories from the author of Under the Tuscan Sun, in which the queen of wanderlust reflects on the comforts of home. Longlisted for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award • Veranda Book Club Pick • “A soulful meditation on ‘what home means, how it hooks the past and pushes into the future’ . . . spellbinding.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Though Frances Mayes is known for her travels, she has always sought a sense of home wherever she goes. In this poetic testament to the power of place in our lives, Mayes reflects on the idea of home, from the earliest imprint of four walls to the startling discoveries of feeling the strange ease of homes abroad, friends’ homes, and even momentary homes that spark desires for other lives. Her musings are all the more poignant after so many have spent their long pandemic months at home. From her travels across Italy—Tuscany, of course, but also Venice and Capri—to the American South, France, and Mexico, Mayes examines the connective tissue among them through the homes she’s inhabited. A Place in the World explores Mayes’s passion and obsessions with houses and the things that inhabit them—old books, rich food, beloved friends, transportive art. The indelible marks each refuge has left on her and how each home influenced the next serve as the foundations of its chapters. Written in Mayes’s signature intimate style, A Place in the World captures the adventure of moving on while seeking comfort in the cornerstone closest to all of us—home.

Everyone really has a purpose in life, says Carol Adrienne in her new guide to harnessing the power inside yourself. The question is: How do you learn to go with the flow and let your true nature guide you? Chapter by chapter, The Purpose of Your Life explains how to locate the source of your innate energy and focus it, how to align yourself with the natural forces that swirl around us always, and how to develop the intuition that fosters synchronicity.

There are practical exercises throughout, along with charts, self-questionnaires, and other tools that help you understand yourself and your deepest aspirations. As you learn to recognize and trust the voice of intuition, you'll find new doors opening and new possibilities everywhere. You'll feel invigorated by the potential you've unleashed, a power that will only grow with each new accomplishment. And you'll discover the serenity and satisfaction that come only to those who are living life to the fullest. The Force is with you -- all you have to do is reach out and start to use it.

A splendid piece of work, charting a new direction for the evangelical church...written with a dazzling combination of intelligence and passion. At the close of the 20th century Fischer's work will be hailed as a linchpin of evangelical reform and renewal."Brennan ManningJohn Fischer at his best! Lively, insightful, wise-solid biblical guidance for pilgrims making their way in a world that, for all its brokenness, God still loves."Richard Mouw, President, Fuller Theological SeminaryWhether or not America's Christian subculture" will be able to understand Fischer's effective blend of fresh experience, unexpected insight, and gospel realities is a real question. But, thank goodness, here it is."Mark A. Noll, McMannis Professor of Christian Thought, Wheaton College Many of us have been encouraged to have a shrink wrapped" Christian experience that has kept us pure - but unused. This book is a testimony to the power of the Christian life that engages with ideas, culture, inner cities, politics and economics and makes a difference."Fred Smith, President, Fourth Partner FoundationLike his apostolic namesake, John Fischer knows that love, not resentment, is the hallmark of Christian peoplehood. His book comes at a time when, because of the way the world is changing, the Church must reassess what it means to be in the world and not of it."Ken Meyers,host and producer of the 'Mars Hill Tapes', author of 'All God's Children' and 'Blue Suede Shoes: Christians and Popular Culture'

This book provides an overview of the grand narrative of the Bible, showing how God's action in the world gives meaning to our lives and provides us with a foundation for our actions. The authors' bestselling textbook, The Drama of Scripture, presented this message for a student audience. It was then abridged and published at a more popular level as The True Story of the Whole World. This revised edition has been further updated and streamlined throughout for church readers and small groups. It includes contemporary reflection sections and discussion questions for individual or group use in each chapter.
