You Can Discover Your Purpose!

This devotional is excellent! I have enjoyed the layout which offers biblical examples, as well as everyday life examples and questions for personal contemplation. Dr. Katie Brazelton writes in a way that relates to women in all seasons of life. This devotional can help you press through the distractions and clear out the clutter to see where you've been and where you are at. As you work through each day of the devotional, and seek the Lord, you will discover where you are going, and the purpose He has for you.

Divine appointments

Katie's God-given giftedness and creative communication shines brightly in this incredible sixty day prayer experience. In a world filled with confusion and distraction, Katie has created a guide to assist women in developing or enriching their prayer communication with our beloved Pappa God (heavenly Father). The brief daily readings incorporate stories of ordinary women that God has used to fulfill His purposes in each individual life. Each character has experienced a "divine appointment" with their heavenly Father that has given definite purpose for their life. Once the purpose is discovered God is truly honored and glorified. Each day recalls a biblical story filled with practical application and insights for each situation be it fear, confusion, crisis, success, road blocks, weakness or strength. We find that God's Word is ageless and always constant. One will find oneself rushing to the next prayer experience with anticipation and excitement to read the experiences that God has allowed in many different lives. Each experience has definite purpose that the reader can relate to in her individual life. What an exciting beginning to a discovery process of one's life purpose revealed in prayer with Pappa God.

The Holy Spirit is working through this book!

This book is truly a divinely inspired writing that serves as a guide to women who are dedicated to finding their unique, God-given purpose in life. By using the manual over a 60 day period, God was able to speak to me and open my eyes to the talents and abilities He has blessed me with and to recognize the dreams and passions He has placed in my heart to be of great service to Him. Thank you to Dr Brazelton for being a tool for God to use in this way! This is a highly recommended reading for any woman in search of her place in God's eternal plan. Michelle Cabell

This book is a treasure!

If you long to discover the way that God has uniquely designed you for His glory, Praying for Purpose is a must! During this sixty-day prayer journey, you will answer questions aimed at uncovering your life's purpose as you examine both your heart and your life experiences before the Lord. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will be amazed as God reveals to you chapter-by-chapter how He has shaped you to do extraordinary things in this world for Him. Praying for Purpose will also help you face the sin, fears, and baggage that may be keeping you from fully realizing God's plan for your life. Throughout her book, I especially appreciated the way Katie Brazelton both encouraged and challenged me to take action steps through her presentation of some fascinating biblical characters and inspiring modern-day role models.
