Pursue the Intentional Life - by Jean Fleming (Paperback)

About the Book

How will you live the rest of your life?

Book Synopsis

How Meaningfully are You Living Your One Life?

Jean Fleming was struck with the reality that you only live once. Her exact thought that changed the trajectory of her life was this--what kind of old woman do I want to become? Men and women ages nineteen to ninety will gain practical insight from Jean's reflections and findings around this question. Using God's Word as the source of strength and wisdom, Pursue the Intentional Life encourages you to live out God's purposes in every season.

Thirty-one readings, each ending in a prayer, cover such topics as:

• commitment to a reflective life,
• de-romanticizing the life of faith,
• the ministry of the obituary,
• hospitality: a welcoming life,
• when failure threatens to overwhelm,
• loss and leaving, and more.

Jean demonstrates wisdom and youthful vigor as she shares her personal conversations with God. She offers practical application to help you instill meaning into each day while looking at the big picture of God's plans and purposes. A restorative book for personal use, Pursue the Intentional Life also makes an insightful group read.
