Book Description
"What do I want to do with my life?" It's a daunting question. But what if you could answer with confidence? With passion, purpose and a plan? This book will show you exactly how. In Be More Like You, you'll meet Rory Langford, a young college student who's unsure of his future. Then he meets a successful business woman who becomes his mentor. She guides him through the IDEAS Framework, a prescriptive approach to better understanding yourself, uncovering your passions and aligning your unique skills and interests to an industry you love. She also shows him how to build a network of people to help him get informational interviews, job shadows and internships/apprenticeships. These career-connected learning opportunities help him validate his field of interest and create contacts in the industry. As you follow Rory's journey, you'll see the IDEAS Framework unfold and understand how it can easily be applied to your own life. The book gives helpful directives throughout that you can use yourself. As you follow Rory's journey to see where it leads, you'll be inspired to dream big and uncover your passions. This book will jump start your journey to purpose, fulfillment and happiness in work and life. It will give you the courage to dig deep and Be More Like You. Here's what people are saying: "Tyler's care for young people and their quest to find their true path is worthy of endorsement and celebration. Tyler is not only able to connect and make the process less daunting, but brings with him a lifetime of experience and success." -Dr. Molly Kreyssler, life and education coach. "Purposeful direction starts with your passion and curiosity. This framework is a highly useful and practical guide from someone who is as much a student in life as a teacher. Tyler is the consummate selfless teacher who learns from every interaction and experience. Dig in. It will be worth your time and energy." -Shane Atchison, CEO, North America at Wunderman Thompson. "Tyler has an unmatched ability to spot and advocate for the unique and powerful light within people, empowering them with confidence and skills to embrace their true passions." -Andrea Hopelain, senior vice president of brand, Electronic Arts. "Frederick Buechner reminds us that true vocation 'is the place where our deep gladness meets the world's deep need.' In his inspiring story of a young man's search for meaning and purpose, Tyler Lafferty reminds us that with a little guidance, reflection and intentionality, we can all find that intersection where our passions and abilities meet up with the opportunities the world provides for work and service." -Beck A. Taylor, Ph.D., president, Whitworth University.

I'd Like You More If You Were More like Me

Book Description
I’d Like You More If You Were More like Me takes on one of life’s most important questions: How can I get closer to God and other people? We were created for deep connections. When people have deep connections, says John Ortberg, they win in life. When they don’t have deep connections, they cannot win in life. I’d Like You More if You Were More like Me offers help in overcoming one of the biggest obstacles to making deep connections: the fact that we’re so different. Different from God and different from each other. The good news is that connectedness is not based on similarity, but on shared experiences. When one person invites another to share an experience, they’re connected. It can be sharing a beautiful sunset or a meal, having a great conversation over cup of coffee, going for walk, or even teasing somebody. And when we share those same experiences with God, we get closer to him, too. God wants to connect with us—so much that he sent his son to live as a human being. God took on flesh and shared every human experience. So we don’t have to wonder what a close relationship with God looks like anymore. An intimate relationship with God and other people doesn’t have to be a cliché, it can be a daily way of life.

Prototype
Author: Jonathan Martin
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1414385897
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Jesus is God and we are not. Most of us get that. But what we don’t always understand is that God loves us just as much as He does His son. Many times in the Old Testament, God refers to human beings as His “beloved.” But when God called Jesus His beloved, Jesus did something truly remarkable: He believed Him. He lived every moment of His life fully convinced of His identity. And unlike every other person in history . . . He never forgot. In Prototype, Jonathan Martin creates a vivid understanding of what it means to be beloved by God. To completely trust, as Jesus did, that God loves you. To live life without fear, confident in your identity and purpose. To handle life’s wounds as Jesus did, and to wake every day with a deep awareness of God’s presence. Martin reveals a startling truth at the heart of the gospel: Jesus is our prototype. And as we discover how the knowledge of being God’s beloved changed everything for Jesus—how it set Him free to live out his purpose and love God, others, and the world—it will begin to do the same for us.
