DESCRIPTION

People are yearning for purpose, direction, and significance in life. Even more, they are searching for a faith that can transform their lives. A Life Worth Leading is based on Paul's admonition to "lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called." Burtness offers here a Lutheran reading not only of Rick Warren's The Purpose-Driven Life, but many of the books and resources that lead people toward the quest for significance in their daily lives. Each chapter is based on key Bible texts and includes powerful stories of personal transformation. Five transforming purposes will be highlighted: inspiration through worship, integration through fellowship, following Christ through discipleship, involvement through ministry, and invitation through evangelism.
