About the Book
Discover exactly who you were created to be and what you were created to do by learning to see yourself the way God sees you.
The key to understanding, embracing, and unleashing your God-given uniqueness is possessing an accurate picture of your true identity. After all, if you don't know who you are, how could you ever know what you've been born to do?
In Your Purpose Is Calling, Dr. Dharius Daniels, founder of Change Church, takes you on a journey of discovering your identity through a threefold solution of finding fulfillment, fit, and fruitfulness. In the process, you'll learn to:

Exit the boat of normal living and step onto the sea of the abnormal
Thrive through effective self-leadership
Uncover your unique design, desires, dreams, and destiny

Review :
At some point in life, we all reach a place where we question our purpose and destiny. In his book Your Purpose Is Calling, Dr. Dharius Daniels walks us through practical principles to help us identify the gifts placed inside of us that serve as a foundation for purpose. He asks the keen question of 'Who do you think you are?' as a springboard into the steps we can take to find that answer, while simultaneously encouraging us to figure out our 'why' or the things that incentivize and motivate us. This is the book that my 20-something year old self needed to help me navigate life. This is the book that I need today to help me stay focused on my path and calling.

Dharius Daniels is not only one of the most influential leaders in our nation, he's a friend.

Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking
It has often been said that God doesn't make mistakes, but did you know that God also doesn't make extras? God didn't make an extra you or an extra me because, when he decided we were necessary for creation, he endowed us with a unique purpose that only our unique fingerprints can unlock. Your Purpose Is Calling is the wake up call everyone who feels like an 'extra' needs because it reminds all of us that the things that make us different were designed by God to make us impactful.
Nona Jones, business executive and author of Killing Comparison and Success from the Inside Out

Thorough and thoughtfully written, in Your Purpose is Calling, Dr. Daniels answers.
