Synopsis

For decades, many of us have concentrated on personal success at the price of our spirituality. Now, Dr. Linda Seger, a successful Hollywood insider who has dealt with the competition and worldly spirit of the film and television industry, reveals how you can attain your goals and desires without compromising your relationship with God. Dr. Seger tackles these important issues: how do you identify your calling? Handle risk? Cope with praise or blame? Identify and confront evil in our work? Deal with competition? Take the Leap of Faith? Meet and overcome the Seven Deadly Sins? The book is based on her own experiences while trying to build her career as she became a world-renowned script consultant. She also interviewed over 30 people from all six continents and from the arts, the sciences, and business and reveals and identifies success and spirituality issues that have rarely been discussed before. The book won the "Enduring Light/ Inspirational" Illumination Book Award for Exemplary Christian writing.

About this title

From the Author:

The book is written from a Christian perspective, but I hope that non-Christians will find many of the universal spiritual ideas in this book will resonate with them as well.
I write from a fairly broad religious background. I'm the granddaughter of a Lutheran minister with a family tree of numerous ministers, missionaries, and theologians who run the gamut from fundamentalist Christians to liberal Christians to no religion at all. Some of my great-great grandparents and grand-uncles migrated to Australia in the early 1900's and became influential in the Lutheran Church and Lutheran Seminary there.You will notice that the book raises questions and discusses some answers. It invites you to reflect on how you interact with these issues. Life is a mystery and not everything has clear-cut answers that can be handed to any of us. I believe in the on-going dialogue with God as we try to work out what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how to keep spiritually balanced in the process.
