Missional Living One Day at a Time

(BIRMINGHAM, Ala.) — Oct. 26, 2009—A Passion for Purpose (978-1-59669-242-8, $16.99, N094137) encourages women to live for God’s mission in all aspects of life, regardless of life situation—single, married, mother with children, professional, or retired. These missional thoughts, drawn from the five authors’ lives, challenge women to consider their communion with God, understanding of Scripture, worldview, relationships across cultures, the way they communicate Christ through their actions and words, their ministry and influence.

“As believers, we don’t want a day to pass that we have wasted. A Passion for Purpose encourages us to live 365 days passionate for a purpose beyond ourselves,” says publisher Andrea Mullins.

Richard Blackaby, coauthor of Experiencing God, agrees, stating, “This delightful, challenging, insightful devotional will renew your passion to meet God each day!”

About the Authors

Kimberly Sowell, Edna Ellison, Joy Brown, Tricia Scribner, and Marie Alston are frequently invited to host women’s retreats and conferences. While each has an individual ministry, their combined purpose is to share a message of wisdom seasoned with humor, boldness with mercy, and truth with joy. These women meet together regularly to relate the new and exciting ways God is working in their lives and to pray. A Passion for Purpose is a product of their praying and sharing times and their desire to inspire women to see God’s hand at work in the ordinary events of life. Each author has published individual works; however, they collaborated to publish A Month of Miracles in 2008.
