Chazown, Revised and Updated Edition: Discover and Pursue God's Purpose for Your Life

Craig Groeschel

You Can't Really Live Without It

"Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18, kjv)

Tired of living half a life--or even a waking nightmare? Struggling to find meaning in a job you don't like? Facing graduation or mid-life changes in a faltering economy? Wishing you could rekindle a dream you gave up long ago?

It's time to get your vision checked!

In this practical, energizing guide, pastor and author Craig Groeschel shows how to live life fully by finding, naming, and achieving your unique, God-given goal. The secret: knowing your chazown, a Hebrew word for "vision," "dream," or "revelation."

You'll see how to identify your chazown by taking a fresh look at your core values, spiritual gifts, and experiences. You'll understand the big picture--and the vital details. In this book--now newly revised and updated--you'll find . . .

- A brand new introduction
- Step-by-step instructions to uncover your chazown
- Personal stories that show the principles at work
- "You're the Author" activities to help you apply what you're learning
- "Key Thoughts" that capture and make it easy to remember crucial concepts
- A lively, thought-provoking study guide for individuals or groups

"Is something missing from your life? Are you aware that God has more for you? Seek Him. He will give you a chazown. And not just any, but one that is tailored specifically for you."
--Craig Groeschel

Hard to Pronounce, Easy to Discover

Chazown (kha-ZONE) is the Hebrew word for the dream, revelation, or vision God was thinking about when he made you. You're one of a kind, placed on earth with a plan that's yours alone to carry out. God isn't hiding it. He wants you to know and embrace it!

Fulfilling your chazown is one of the most enjoyable, rewarding things you'll ever do--because the blueprint is customized by your architect, the One who knows you best. That doesn't mean it's always easy though, which is why author Craig Groeschel provides plenty of battle-tested ways to stay on course.

Why waste another day aiming for the wrong target--or none at all? Take your first steps toward pursuing God's chazown for you!

Praise for this book

"It is depressing to consider how many people will go to bed tonight never having thought of how God wanted them to spend the day. As Craig points out, this is a deadly cycle that quickly culminates in a wasted life. Chazown reminds us of the brilliance of our God who carefully created us and empowered us for a life of purpose. I pray it rescues many from an eternity of regret and leads them toward the satisfying and meaningful life God intended."
--Francis Chan, best-selling author of Crazy Love

"Craig Groeschel dreams God-sized dreams. But he's also one of the most down-to-earth people I know. You can't get close to him without getting a vision infection.

If you need a dose of vision, pop the Chazown pill."
