From time immemorial human beings have been wondering about the purpose of life on this earthly plane. In this book, the authors, a life coach and a psychotherapist, survey the scriptures of the world’s major religions—humanity’s common faith heritage—and identify coherent and surprising answers about:
•The ultimate purposes of life;
•The social, intellectual and spiritual growth patterns designed into life by an all-loving Creator;
•The nature of the tailored growth curriculum that exists for each person;
•And how each person can harness the dynamics of growth in their personalized curriculum to better fulfill the purposes of life.
