Living a Deliberate Life

About the Book

Living A Deliberate Life is based on the belief that we all have a unique purpose on this Earthly Plane and that finding that purpose does not have to be complicated. The book is a compilation of Sunday Lessons given by Pastor Ellen Martin, RN, PhD, delving deeper into topics that generate thinking, accepting responsibility, and taking action for finding and following that individual path.

Some of the Metaphysical/Spiritual chapters are: Attitude, Simple Spirituality, how our Heroes help mold us, and what kind of Legacy we want to leave, leading us to setting direction for a purposeful, more spiritual, and happier life.

Blending Orthodox and Metaphysical philosophies, the book transcends the stereo-typical self-help book. It allows the reader to look beyond the "in-the-box" religion and develop an individual spiritual meaning and direction to life.

Pastor Ellen challenges the reader to make the choice to live deliberately - step out in faith - and create the life you want.
