'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.

Man learns through experience and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.
