Press Release Collegium Books New Release Meant to Assist People in Finding Their True Selves According to Recent Polling, Fifty-One Percent of Americans Still Searching for Purpose and Meaning. For Immediate Release: Could it be true that fifty-one percent of us are actually missing the purpose of our existence? Is there supposed to be more to life than just existing? Many people have given up on their dreams because they think the dream is too big for them to accomplish. Then there are others who are not even aware of the reality of a dream. This is also expressed in the Christian community as well. In the book, “Is God Calling You to Ministry,” author Mark David Shaw states that every human has a purpose. He affirms that creation demands destiny and that nothing is created without a reason or purpose for it. This means that every human is called into a ministry fit perfectly for them. If this is actually true, then high school graduates who answer the question, “What are you going to do with your life?” may not have a clue as to what they are actually created for. Those that are in the twilight years of their lives might be thinking that it is too late for them. The rest of us between those two extremes are left wondering, “Did we choose correctly, and if not, what do we do now?” Shaw believes that it is never too late to begin living one’s destiny. He insists that once a person identifies and pursues the thing for which they were created they will step into an environment of life satisfaction. This is because their Maker made them uniquely qualified for the work that He formed them to do. The author reveals that by saying “yes” to your purpose, you just opened the door and took the hand of the One who made the universe. He will now come to your side to help you attain things that are not possible for you to accomplish on your own. Yes, your dream really is bigger than you, but not if you have a Creator that waits to assist you in accomplishing those things! When Jesus said, “Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me…” your Creator just invited you to take your part, and because a yoke takes two oxen, Jesus will take His part to assist you in achieving your destiny! Author Mark David Shaw is the bishop of Collegium Bible Institute, where he has been training men and women in ministry since 1999. He has developed the curriculum for CBI to equip the next generation of leaders.
