What on Earth Am I Here For?

The Purpose-driven Life

Jenna-Lee Gordon

You'll wonder, "Why is this happening to me? Why am I having such a difficult time?" One answer is that life is supposed to be difficult! It's what enables us to grow. Remember, earth is not heaven!

Purpose #3: you were created to become like Christ

Remember, it’s all about love - loving God and loving others. 

You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you’ve got. 

You were put on this earth to make a contribution. 

“Jesus now has a new pair of eyes to see with, new ears to listen with, new hands to help with, and a new heart to love others with.” 

Rick Warren

This book is organized into 40 chapters, which I think corresponds to the 40 days of the temptation faced by Jesus. The book is especially good for new Christian. It told us that we can never gain real satisfaction and success if we don't look at God. It teaches us to be humble in front of God, and then be a servant and a friend of God. What it means by "purpose" in the book title is that we are living our lives to realized god's plan. 
I read the book within one day. This is just my personal preference. I hate spreading my workload across a long period of time. I still digest most ideas of the book because I highlighted and take notes of the important concepts. Then I realized the important concepts are repetitive. It might not be obvious if you read it using 40 days, but if you read it in one day, it is very obvious. Therefore, this book is kind of shallow in my opinion. 
Overall: good for new Christians, not good for deep thinkers.

This is one of the best devotionals I’ve read! Take it to heart, let it change you into Gods purpose and live purposely towards being Christ-like, and building relationship with God

Another book that I didn't end up reviewing because I was too occupied with other things in life. But overall, this is a life-changing book. And I wouldn't mind reading it all over again in the future because I feel like I will always need to be reminded of all the things explained in this book. It's always nice to know that you have a purpose in this world and not just mindlessly going around our days feeling useless and meaningless. Definitely a 5/5!
