Reseña del editor:

Almost anyone you ask would say that they want to do work that matters. Yet many people do not feel like they are actively making a difference in the world. Others may feel a sense of calling but lack either the courage or the supportive community to carry it out. But if God created each of us on purpose, for a purpose, we should be ordering our lives around that purpose. Jonathan D. Golden, founder of Land of a Thousand Hills coffee company, has discovered and is living out his unique calling to promote social, spiritual, and economic justice while providing a living wage to 2,500 farmers in Rwanda. Now he reveals to readers how to identify their calling, dispels the myths and misunderstandings we often have about what constitutes a calling, and challenges them to pursue that calling with a courage that can surmount the many obstacles that may lie in their path. He also shows readers how to cultivate a community of support that will help them fulfill their calling. For anyone who is dissatisfied with the work they are doing, just entering the workforce, or wondering what more is out there, this book reveals how to embrace the meaningful life they were meant to live.

You were created for a meaningful life

Are you looking for purpose in your life? Trying to find a career that is a calling? Each day you can make a difference by being yourself and doing good. The greatest impact you can have is probably just around the corner, within your grasp, and embedded in your heart. It may not be easy, but it is accessible.

Jonathan Golden takes you on twelve adventures to discover not just who you are but how you can have the courage to find your calling and do good in the process. As a pastor and the founder of Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee Company, a multimillion-dollar social enterprise, he is living out his unique calling to promote social, spiritual, and economic justice in the lives of thousands of Rwandans, while at the same time giving you a great cup of coffee. For ten years he has invited millions to "Drink Coffee. Do Good." and now he invites you to Be You. Do Good.
