About this audiobook
"Sweet Spot."
Ever swung a baseball bat or paddled a Ping-Pong ball? If so, you know the oh-so-nice feel of the sweet spot. Life in the sweet spot rolls like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride. But you don't have to swing a bat or a club to know this. What engineers give sports equipment, God gave you. A zone, a region, a life precinct in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot.
But if you're like 70 percent of working adults, you haven't found it. You don't find meaning in your work, or you don't believe your talents are used. What can you do? You're suffering from the common life, and you desperately need a cure.
Best-selling author Max Lucado has found it. In Cure for the Common Life, he offers practical tools for exploring and identifying your own uniqueness, motivation to put your strengths to work, and the perfect prescription for finding and living in your sweet spot for the rest of your life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was while reading this book that God spoke to me about our school's theme for 2007. The idea that God knows us intimately - our sins, our evil and depravved hearts yet loves us - and sent His Son to die for us while we were His enemies, was brought to me afresh. He knows me, and in Christ, God has made Himself known.This is the theme for my school in 2007!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've learned lots from this book! Really would recommend this to my friends!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A process for discovering your passions and abilities in God's kingdom. This is not a book about introspection. Rather it is an exhortation to review your life history to identify what you've done in the past to understand what you might do well for God in the future. Lucado tells us to take risks and serve through our passions by being faithful at our current jobs while exploring new paths.
