One Big Thing: Discovering What You Were Born to Do
By Phil Cooke (Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2012)
In this invigorating
book, the author, Phil Cooke, informs readers how to realize their talents,
passions, and dreams, and how to go forth living their purpose. Equaling in
inspiration and educational bites, this book will likely encourage you to jump out
of your seat to commence painting the canvas of your life goals.
Bombarded with powerful
stories, quotes, and in-depth thoughts about life, this book discusses
important issues such as, perception, prioritizing, values, decisions,
planning, and more. “Millions of people spend their lives in the pursuit of
nothing, but you have chosen the great adventure. Go. Seek it with everything
you have, and don’t look back,” (Cooke, 2012, p. 171).
“The secret to
understanding your priorities in values. Values are the bumpers on the bowling
alley of life. They determine our boundaries-how far we’ll go on questionable
issues. Knowing what matters-what you value-is absolutely key to living a life
of meaning and purpose, and your values are critical steps to identifying your
one thing,” (Cooke, 2012, p. 65-66).
