In a world in which we are daily forced to make decisions that lead us either closer to or further from our goals, no tool is as valuable in providing direction as a mission statement—a brief and focused statement of purpose that can be used to initiate, evaluate, and refine all of life's activities. A carefully thought out mission statement acts as both a harness and a sword—harnessing you to what is true about your life, and cutting away all that is false. In "The Path," Laurie Beth Jones, author of the national best-seller "Jesus CEO," provides inspiring and practical advice to lead readers through every step of both defining and fulfilling a mission. With more than ten years experience in assisting groups and individuals, Jones offers clear, step-by-step guidance that can make writing a mission statement take a matter of hours rather than months or years. "The Path" discusses the three qualities of a good mission statement....Additionally, she provides six timeless profiles of people who defined their missions and went on to lead legendary lives.
