A life changing book, outlining Gods 5 main purposes for our time here on earth. Ask Why am I here no more! Especially great for those of us new to faith. Highly recommend study guide too. Profound- you will not come out of reading this book without being changed and full of hope and endless purpose!

I feel attacked!!

😂😤🤣😤😂😤🤣😤😂

Ddzmini I don‘t envy others simply because I want to lose weight or look better or... I don‘t envy really anything anyone else has or looks like because I am original no one else is me and I‘m good with that as everyone has problems whether slim or heavyset, good looking or not, smart or not as so I agree with you in regards to attacked by these words... and God loves all w/without these thoughts or feelings he understands us as we are 🙌🏽 5y

When anything in creation fulfills it‘s purpose, it brings glory to God.

quote
Chelseabillups30

Everything created by God reflects His glory in some way. We see it everywhere, from the smallest microscopic form of life to the vast Milky Way, from sunsets and stars to storms and seasons.
Creation reveals our Creator‘s glory.

quote
Chelseabillups30

When life gets tough, when you‘re overwhelmed with doubt,or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you are not home yet. At death you leave home—you‘ll go home.

quote
Chelseabillups30

In God‘s eyes, the greatest heroes of faith are not those who achieve prosperity, success, and power in this life, but those who treat this life as a temporary assignment and serve faithfully, expecting their promised reward in eternity.

quote
Chelseabillups30

Everyday is an important day, and every second is a growth opportunity to deepen your character, to demonstrate love, or to depend on God. Some tests seem overwhelming, while others you don‘t even notice. But all of them have eternal implications.

quote
Chelseabillups30

When you live in the light of eternity, your values change. You use your time and money more wisely. You place a higher premium on relationships and character instead of fame or wealth or achievements or even fun. Your priorities are reordered.

quote
Chelseabillups30

God has a purpose for your life on earth, but it doesn‘t end here. His plan involves far more than the few decades you will spend on this planet.

quote
Chelseabillups30

Matthew Henry said, “It ought to be the business of everyday to prepare for our final day.”

Pretty sure this is exactly what I need to work on doing more often. 💯

quote
Chelseabillups30

You become effective by being selective.

quote
Chelseabillups30

Hope is as essential to your life as air and water. You need hope to cope.

quote
Chelseabillups30

Fear is a self-imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be. You must move against it with the weapons of faith and love.

quote
Chelseabillups30

We are products of our past, but we don‘t have to be prisoners of it. God‘s purpose is not limited by our past.

mommyincolortv I read this with my Bible Study group and it was very helpful and I enjoyed that Scripture was referenced as much as possible to explain certain pieces of advice. I liked the anagrams too! 5y

Our new financial planner has made it his personal mission to save our souls, apparently. He knows we don‘t go to church, so today — because he “thinks we can benefit from it” — he presented us this book with a entire god spiel. It was wholly uncomfortable. If he wasn‘t doing a great job handling our investments, I‘d have walked right out. I respect other folks‘ beliefs and I expect them to respect mine in return. 😬

vivastory But it's a NYT Bestseller! But seriously, proselytizing (religious & political) is always annoying. Especially as an adult. As though there aren't already enough uncomfortable conversations during Thanksgiving dinner... 7y
Tameeka Whaaaaaa😧 That is super annoying! 7y
britt_brooke @vivastory It was so inappropriate. My husband and I were completely dumbfounded. We sat in stunned silence. 7y

britt_brooke @Tameeka So annoying and presumptuous. 😬 7y
swishandflick The worst! 7y
merelybookish That sucks! But he probably sees it as part of his job. 🤷 It would also make me check out some other options. 7y
quietlycuriouskate I'd have been coldly furious. Hope he wasn't billing you for his time. 😠 7y
Kalalalatja Not okay! 7y
Moray_Reads So patronising and egotistical! 7y
OrangeMooseReads That would have not gone well with me. I respect other people‘s beliefs and their right to believe what they want, but they don‘t get to push their beliefs on me. I had a therapist do that to me once. 7y
Blaire That seems totally inappropriate from a financial advisor. 7y
RealBooks4ever Wow! So sorry they did that to you! Not appropriate. 😒 7y
BookishMarginalia That is so inappropriate. 7y
nosferatoos That is wildly inappropriate wow 7y
britt_brooke @merelybookish I think you‘re right, that he thinks it‘s totally normal and part of his job. If it continues we‘ll politely ask him to keep our meetings to financial talk only and if he won‘t comply, we‘ll take our business elsewhere. 7y
britt_brooke @swishandflick @River_Voice @Kalalalatja @Moray_Reads @OrangeMooseReads @Blaire @RealBooks4ever @BookishMarginalia @nosferatoos Thanks for the support, guys! It was definitely overstepping a line. If it continues, we‘ll take our business elsewhere. 7y
Andrea4 Oy. 7y
ptkpepe98 I have had coworkers say they would pray for me. At first, I just smiled. Now, I thank them and tell them that I am comfortable with who I am and what I believe, and I suggest they use their prayers where they are needed. I still smile, but it lets them know I am serious. I understand from speaking with some of them that testifying is part of what they should do, but this chickie has done her homework. I'm good. Bless your heart.😉 7y
britt_brooke @ptkpepe98 😆👏🏻 Yes, I love your approach. 7y
Kaye Yea I‘d definitely put him in his place. I was at the gym by myself one night and got a sermon. I didn‘t appreciate it one 🤬 bit. I‘ve lived here my whole life. I know where every church in town is. I‘m perfectly capable of finding one if I wanted to. I don‘t shove my opinions down other people‘s throats so they shouldn‘t do it either. They really tick me off. 7y
britt_brooke @Kaye That‘s what bothers me the most. I‘d never dream of forcing my beliefs on anyone, because it‘s not my business, plus I don‘t care what anyone else believes. 7y
minkyb Awkward 7y
Bookzombie Wow, so inappropriate. I would have been so uncomfortable. Hope it doesn‘t continue. 7y
TheNextBook Oh hell no!!!!! What in the entire? Um no... that is some damn nerve. 7y
Pamwurtzler Ugh that is completely inappropriate. Seriously none of his business. 7y
britt_brooke @minkyb Super awkward!! I can‘t remember the last time I was so uncomfortable. 😬 7y
britt_brooke @TheNextBook I know!!!! So presumptuous and flat out rude. 7y
britt_brooke @ReadingEnvy @Bookzombie @Pamwurtzler Thanks for the support, guys! 💚💚💚 7y
Amandajoy That would just flat out piss me off 7y
britt_brooke @Amandajoy I was pissed and shocked by his audacity. 😤 7y
saresmoore I can feel my eye twitching just imagining this scenario. Nope. 7y
Eggs Unprofessional to cause such awkwardness for one's clients 7y
LeahBergen That‘s appalling. 7y
CouronneDhiver It‘s a decent book but that was a very strange way to go about gifting it to you. Eek 😬 7y
britt_brooke @saresmoore @Eggs @LeahBergen It was so awkward. Hubby and I both sat there in stunned silence, not sure what to say without sounding angry. We took the book just to be nice. 7y
britt_brooke @CouronneDhiver Exactly! I‘m not so offended by the book itself. It was the whole pitch that came along with it. Had he just said “Here‘s a book I like to give new clients” and leave it at that, it would been much more appropriate. 7y
Anna40 Totally inappropriate! 7y
Reviewsbylola I despise when people shove their religion down others‘ throat. 7y
readordierachel Ughhh. That is the absolute worst. 7y
CAnne @britt_brooke so sorry. I'm a Christian but DO NOT believe in proselytizing in any way shape or form. Especially in business. I certainly don't like it when other faiths do it to me. 7y
britt_brooke @CAnne Thank you. 💚 I‘m with you, I‘m not one to push my beliefs on others either. I respect everyone‘s right to believe in whatever they choose so it‘s really shocking that someone would so blatantly try to tell us we‘re wrong. 7y
BestDogDad Yuck! Sorry to hear that. 7y
britt_brooke @JeffKoeppen Thanks for the support. Can‘t wait for the next meeting. 😬 7y
Shemac77 Wow! 7y
britt_brooke @Shemac77 Right?! 😬 7y
Booksnchill Hmmm may I recommend a return gift??? Perhaps John Lennon‘s picture book on Tolerance “Imagine” - that‘s my non-snarky response as edited😏 7y
britt_brooke @Booksnchill Yes, haha! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y
Suet624 Ugh. 7y
ghosthost Yikes! That‘s unprofessional. 7y
britt_brooke @ghosthost I can‘t wait to see what he has to say the next time we meet with him. 🙄😬 7y
