Your Most Powerful Question: Finding Purpose and Meaning in God’’s Plan

Your Most Powerful Question offers a practical, simple discernment tool to help Catholics find their purpose and define their role in God’s plan. Dr. Olesnavage provides clear, easy-to-follow steps to identify the powerful question embedded in your own life story--no matter where you are on your journey. Readers will also discover an energizing lens that empowers them to see service as a gift to themselves as well as to God. Dig a little and you will find that extraordinary people, including the apostles Peter and Andrew, were called not with a command or request, but rather with a life-changing question: ＂What do you want?＂ (John 1:38). This book introduces the reader to faithful Catholics who have found their passion and their purpose through the lens of their finding their most powerful question. ＂When my question arrived, it was a huge ’aha’ moment for me, as if a light had illuminated my darkness. The journey of my powerful question is helping me realize that even the nature of existence itself is rooted in trinitarian love.＂
