-------

More about the book:

Local author, speaker, and public theologian Damon Garcia follows his acclaimed book, The God Who Riots, with a new book that challenges mainstream political and religious ideas about purpose that leave us feeling like failures: . The kind of calling Damon rejects is one that says you must become a better version of yourself to make yourself loveable, valuable, and worthy of community. When we look at the root of our issues we discover that we've internalized capitalism's drive for growth and profit and tricked ourselves into believing that expansion is what life is all about. The truth is you already are valuable! And when we discover our innate value we learn that purpose isn't something we find, after all. Purpose finds us when we're present to the world in front of us.

For anyone disillusioned by the idea of "God's plan" for their life or exhausted by the achievement treadmill, this book and this live event will dislodge your narrow thinking and reframe the way you view your life, desires, gifts, work, success, and your relationship to the world.
