There's More to Life than Making a Living
A significant life has positive meaning and value beyond individual success. It means contributing to the lives of others and showing compassion. In this book, Jack McDowell shares the six keys to a life of significance: Find your calling, learn from your experiences, acquire habits that build character, discover the joy of generosity, build relationships for life, and don't retire. Each chapter contains specific actions that will help readers master the six essentials. These steps are the harvest of Jack's own experiences and they are, he says, "the gifts of a providential God to this seeker after a life with deeper and more lasting meaning." Giving is man's God-ordained purpose. This book will provide encouragement and resources for the journey to a more significant life. It is a personal invitation to discover that there is far more to life than just making a living.
The Power of Purpose
The Power of Purpose is a remarkable collection of thirty short motivational essays designed to be read daily over the course of a month. First published in 1994, this book remains as relevant in today's chaotic world as it was more than two decades ago. As a young child, author Jack C. McDowell began praying to know his life's purpose. At the age of twenty-five, he left his family farm and founded his own capital fund-raising business and was guided into his life's work: helping The Salvation Army-as well as colleges, hospitals, temples, and churches-raise funds and establish new ventures. Jack is a vital individual, heavily invested in business and life. His principles have proven themselves throughout the years, helping millions. Covering important topics like knowing yourself, applying your faith, and using your wealth, this extraordinary resource will help you define who you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. Used by motivational speakers and trainers, this is not a "get rich quick" book. This is a powerful motivational tool to help you discover-and deepen-your life's mission and purpose.
Hope, Desire, and Aspire
In this memoir of courage, responsibility, and stewardship, Jack C. McDowell details a purposeful life. McDowell had an auspicious start. He was born in sunny Hollywood, California, to a successful developer and a socialite. It wasn't long, however, before his family's luck changed. After tragedy struck his business during the Great Depression, McDowell's father moved them two thousand miles away to Backus, Minnesota. Twelve-year-old McDowell traded the sunshine for snow. In the dozen years that followed, he became a major provider for the family and developed a work ethic that would serve him in all future endeavors. As McDowell puts his heart and soul into running the farm, new opportuniti...
The Power of Purpose Workbook
Are you struggling to find the purpose of your life? Do you worry about financial issues? Have you questioned your values and how they've affected your success? In this study guide companion to The Power of Purpose, you'll find answers to expanding the vision of the life you want to lead.
Moments of Destiny
Jack C. McDowell believes that each person is created for a specific time, place, and plan within this world. Each individual's purpose is as singular as the person himself or herself. Few among us lock solidly into the purpose for which we are created, but those who do at any point in life discover a rare sense of purpose and destiny. Moments of destiny are flickers of time or circumstance which may change our course dramatically. These moments may be ordinary or seemingly uneventful, but later are recognized as important signposts on our life's journey. McDowell's book recounts multiple true stories of such often small but significant happenings and their eventual outcomes. Readers probably will recall such instances of clarity and revelation that happened at certain points in their lives. One's life examined is filled with significance and Moments of Destiny inspires readers to celebrate small moments, as well as great events.
Success, Substance, and Significance
Jack C. McDowell believes that no human life is ordinary, but regardless of humble beginnings or disastrous circumstances, each life can become extraordinary. Success, Substance, and Significance offers the reader compelling stories of lives lived far beyond the possible and destinies that live through generations. There's the farm wife and mother who died in her 30s, leaving a laborer husband and two children. Because the 12-year-old insisted that her 10-year-old brother follow his mother's wishes and do all he could to educate himself and relieve their poverty, one woman's short life ultimately gave the United States of America one of her greatest presidents. A short-order cook, retiring a...

The Chains of Marley
One way to fulfill Gods expectation of good stewardship is to contribute to the welfare of mankind using the gifts and talents God has given. In addition to providing an abundant life, God also gives each person the option of choice. A person can choose to be benevolent or oblivious to the needs of others. The choice is his or hers, along with the consequence of that choice. Being benevolent is a humanitarian responsibility for all people, whether or not they are a Christian. This book compares the individual benevolence obligation to Jacob Marley, the fictional character in Charles Dickens novella, A Christmas Carol. Jacob Marleys life, attitudes, characteristics, decisions, influences, and...
