I've read several of the books in the Parachute library from Richard Bolles. This one is distinguished from the others, in that this is a self consciously Christian book in orientation. Bolles suggestions that finding a life mission is a religious notion and urges us to not compartmentalize religion when doing our job searches. He says a mission consists of three parts (or three missions). First to live conscious of God through all of life. Second to make the world a better place. Third to use your unique talents to serve in the place where your are most satisfied. When all three converge, you have the making of a life's mission. ( )

Inspiring guide on how to discern your individual life path. We can't all run orphanages or even fund raising marathons but we all have a worthwhile role to play using our own talents and inclinations. DMQH 2015

The best book in the most simple presentation concerning finding one's mission in life as a fulfillment of faith ( )

A short little gem by the author of "What Color Is Your Parachute?", this book actually helped me pinpoint the mission(s) of my life. ( )

I was most moved by the part about angel's laughing at the way we seek big meaning in life while cursing in traffic and being bothered by petty things. Beyond that, I wasn't overly impressed by this brief little tome authored by the man who brings us the well-known "What Color is Your Parachute?" But it did offer some thoughts worth pondering. Bolles takes a decidedly Christian perspective and does as good a job as anyone at being something in that while coming across as completely accepting of other beliefs. His point about this is that you can't be nothing. He describes our mission in life as coming in 3 parts (p.11): 1. "to seek to stand hour by hour in the conscious presence of God, the One from whom your Mission is derived," 2. "to do what you can, moment by moment, day by day, step by step, to make this world a better place, following the leading and guiding of God's Spirit within you and around you," and 3. "to exercise that Talent which you particularly came to Earth to use -- your greatest gift, which you most delight to use, in the place(s) or setting(s) which God has caused to appeal to you the most, and for those purposes which God most needs to have done in the world."
