Personal encouragement and inspiration for finding your unique calling
“Am I making a difference?” “Can I accomplish meaningful things despite the mistakes I’ve made?” “How can I know God’s purpose for me?”
As the true stories in Exceedingly demonstrate, whether famous or entirely unknown, we all struggle to find significance in our lives. But the truth is that each one of us has a special reason for being right here, right now–and we can discover exactly what that is.
Anita Agers-Brooks walks through simple yet powerful strategies, skills, and exercises to do just that. Through practical application and inspiration from people like the late country music star Troy Gentry, readers will identify and hone their natural traits, raw talents, and untapped abilities. Uncovering our purpose doesn’t require big personalities, perfect lives, or an issue-free past. We only have to make the effort to learn to see ourselves as God does and fulfill the personal purpose we were made for.
Seekers who engage with Anita will find their quest leads to one amazing conclusion: if they unearth what they’ve been given and dare to believe, their Maker will do exceedingly, abundantly more with their lives than they’ve ever imagined.

Summary
From the opening page you know this is going to be a life changing book. The author has an immense talent to share stories which help you remember her points so vividly. I can see myself in many of these situations like praying for Linda, or not. I don’t want to spoil anything for you and at the same time I am compelled to share some of the chapters that moved me. Am I hiding my talents out of fear or investing them? Who are my ‘bankers’ to invest in? The book is very thought provoking.
In addition, I feel there are so many women and people in general that need to hear about Nancy’s mom’s story in Leave a Legacy. This is my mom. She shows love to everyone and I don’t think she understand the impact she has on so many lives. That is a worthy purpose.
I want to say that the author is relatable but I don’t feel qualified to say I can understand or relate to all of the things she has overcome. I am in awe how she is able to use it all to glorify God and help other people.
I just purchased five copies for my friends. I think this would be a great book to read together and share the questions at the end. I read it quickly the first time. Over half the book in the first day. Now I want to go back and savory it with friends.
On a side note, I highly recommend her podcast: Tending Your Dreams. It feels like she is having a conversation with you and encouraging you.
