    About this audiobook

    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 GroeschelHard 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!

    • 5/5
      This is another one of Craig Groeschel's books that just really seeks to help people in the church find their passion and live a purpose filled life. Like all of Groeschel's books, it requires a bit of thinking and soul-searching.
    • 3/5
      Chazown is a Bible-based approach to life planning based on five key focus areas of God, People, Finances, Health and Work. It has 76 chapters but each is only two or three pages long. The brevity makes for fast reading of each chapter but made it difficult to go into any deep thinking. There are lots of personal anecdotes and good sound advice for finding your purpose in life. But somehow I expected something more challenging and grander, given the title which is taken from the Hebrew language.
    • 2/5
      This was a typical self-help book. Nothing unusual -- more anecdotes about the writer's personal life than one really cared to read. Not a bad book, but didn't say anything particularly new and interesting.
    • 3/5
      Sometimes it seems obvious to me that 21st century pastors in North America interact with people who's basic needs are well met, and so whose felt need is best thought of as self-actualization. When I think that way, I wonder if the church that focuses on personal spiritual development and purpose has given in to an individualistic and self-centred model of church. At the same time, since the declining trend of religion in Western culture demands churches with vibrant and engaged congregations, I recognize that Christians who are in touch with God given purpose may be better able to engage in Kingdom work. Groeschel definitely comes from that latter perspective. Chazown is a word that describes 'vision', and this book is an attempt at a practical means for individual Christian's to work through their life purpose to that end. Chazown offers the usual material for that individual project: values, spiritual gifts, life experience, and so on. It moves on to cover different areas of a person's life, and so challenges a person to seek God's will in every area of their life. While there are other tools that do this same work, Groeschel does it as well as most others, making this book useful if it's the first of it's kind you've picked up. I did find the tone of the book's presentation a bit off-putting. The name feels like an attempt as zest, and words like 'Vision', 'passion' and 'purpose' feel so cliche, that the need for a cool different name results in something a bit contrived. That, of course, doesn't necessarily undermine the content of the book, but it didn't help me feel as open to its goal.
    • 5/5
      Written in an easy conversational style, this book offers new ways to look at and think about the age old questions. What matters? Why am I here? What should I do next?It offers ideas/methods to personal growth in a way that is easily palatable to most everyone. Definitely a keeper!
    • 3/5
      While I am not a huge fan of any self help book and I do not think any new ground was covered in this book, I did think the approach was somewhat unique. I don't know any other self help book that would include the following lines "I'm going to let you in on a secret. From this point on, to the end of the book, I'm winging it.". I think the target audience of Christians and possibly people who would not normally seek help through a book might be a good place for this one.
    • 4/5
      I consider this book a must read for anyone who does not know why they are here. The book takes a step by step approach that is easy to follow in order to find your God-given purpose. This book is not mind-blowing with material that has never been heard, but it puts the information in an easy to follow and easy to use application.
    • 3/5
      It's a good, lively discussion of the process of discovering and living out a personal vision for a disciple's life of following Jesus Christ. I read it and looked at personal applications. I did not find it deeply introspective the first time I read it, but the opportunity is covered to explore the life with Christ more deeply.It may be best used in a small group with discussion and sharing of insights. Others can often see attributes that we cannot identify on our own. The book is a door-opener to achieving a spiritually rich life with a vision of the future that will be deeply rewarding. A quick read-though does not unleash its potential. It is a book that needs to be read slowly and considered.
    • 4/5
      I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's written is an easy conversational way with lots of moments that make you stop and laugh. Found myself grateful that the author approached such a serious journey in a way that made it approachable and non-threatening. This is a book I will be handing out copies of for years to come. Whether as a challenge for people to dig a little deeper or just as an interesting read.
