Uncovering Your Path: Spiritual Reflections for Finding Your Purpose

by Charles Lattimore Howard

Overview

From an Ivy-League university chaplain comes a profound collection of spiritual reflections designed for people everywhere, including recent college graduates, looking to find their “way” and their “why.”

“Who am I?”, “What is my purpose?”, and “What should I do with my life?” are questions that all of us find ourselves asking at some point or another. In this deeply transformative and lyrical book, Charles "Chaz" Lattimore Howard offers a helpful guide as we venture to answer these questions for ourselves, inviting us to slow down, to actually walk the journey of life, and to allow our path to reveal itself to us. From an enlightening conversation with a Jain college student about the principle of non-violence to a heartwarming episode coaching basketball to an anxious school-aged child, Chaz shares how everyday moments can help you discern your purpose in the universe. Bolstered with poignant anecdotes that follow Chaz’s journey as a priest, professor, student, parent, spouse, social justice advocate, and religious leader, Uncovering Your Path will fill you with renewed vigor, inspire introspection, and encourage you to find your place in God’s world.

Editorial Reviews

"The Uncovered Path: Spiritual Reflections for Finding Your Purpose is full of accessible wisdom and inspiring stories not only for Christians but for people of all faith traditions, or no faith tradition. I encourage you to 'walk' with The Rev. Dr. Charles 'Chaz' Lattimore Howard as this book and its author will be a cherished friend to help you find your path in life and to walk it well. I first met Chaz through our shared work at The University of Pennsylvania where he has served as Vice President and UniversityChaplain. Through this book, you are given an opportunity to 'sit down with the chaplain and talk about life' as countless numbers of students and faculty have done over his more than two decades of ministry."
