Pure Purpose

Book Cover & Preview Text
A mountain spring is water at it’s purest. Clean, untainted, untouched. And then it begins to meander. Along the way it picks up impurities: dirt, dead plants, animal waste, rocks, garbage. And yet it has a purpose at every point along the way. Water is cleansing. It sustains life, provides power, and allows transportation.
And yet as soon as water comes in contact with the earth and even the air, it’s impure. But God works out the purpose through those impurities. Because they’re God’s purposes, they’re pure purposes. What God intended as the purpose for each drop of water that bubbles out of the spring or falls from the cloud remains the purpose for that drop despite all the impurities that it encounters along the way.
It’s the same for you. He has had a purpose for you since before you were born, and even though your life has meandered through some muddy waters and picked up unnecessary and unwelcome junk along the way, God’s purpose hasn’t changed. He works through the impurities. Because God’s purpose is Pure Purpose.

About the Book
Pure Purpose meets you where you are...including your experiences, questions, and relationships...to experience who God is and discover what he intends for your life. Finding the answers won't be easy. You'll need to commit to digging into God's Word and looking in the mirror at a reflection of yourself, the woman God created you to become. You'll be challenged to apply what you're learning into everyday life. Whether you start the Pure Purpose journey on your own or with a small group, you'll begin each week with a Starter Session, followed by five Make It Personal sessions. Three of the sessions will be personal study, and two will include Reflection and Action, when you’ll apply several verses to your life as well as take action. Knowing God’s Word is essential, but we also need to live it out in our everyday lives. God’s purpose for you is for you to desire him with intensity. Welcome to the journey of Pure Purpose. It's just the beginning!
