Handfuls of Purpose: Helping our Daughters Seize and Embrace their Destinies

Nowadays, the shelves are overrun with books that endeavor to teach women how to play "the game". In contrast, Handfuls of Purpose points women to the benefits of following the "plan", specifically, God's plan for their lives-the plan that leads to purpose. To accomplish this, the author uses the storyline from the Book of Ruth as the backdrop for unpacking timeless precepts for living, loving and leaving a legacy. Throughout his book, Zeb King wraps his arms around his readers and then gradually unwraps God's Word concerning decisions and relationships that tend to propel women to their destinies, as well as those that typically abort God's purpose for their lives. Below are a few of the comments received from women who have reviewed parts of the book during pre-publication: ".I was totally blown away." - San Antonio, TX ".a masterpiece." - Madison, Alabama ".awesome." - Dallas, TX Written to address a wide audience, the author challenges the reader to navigate life's choices and circumstances using the sure principles in God's Word as a roadmap and the promises of His manifold blessings as a compass in their progression toward their destinies. By balancing tough love with tenderness, he encourages all women everywhere to abandon a life of obscurity and vexation in exchange for a hope-filled, fulfilling future.
