Allen, Jr. gives a raw look at what could have been compared to where he is now.

FOREWORD

T

o every cause, there is an effect. To every action, there is a reaction. From the beginning of time God created man to lead and set the standard to which our communities, nations and the world would thrive upon. In the 21st century world, it is critical for the male-man to discover his purpose and take his rightful position in society. When men are out of place, society has astronomical problems. These challenges were intended by the creator to be fixed or avoided by the leadership of the male-man.

Men are looking for purpose everywhere. But it is found only in connecting with the Creator and discovering His reason for one’s existence. In this book, A Man’s Purpose in Life you will discover principles that will challenge you to elevate your mindset in as a man to become all you were created to be. Every Grandfather, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, or Nephew should take the time to read this book.

In the words of the late Dr. Myles Munroe, Where purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable. Understanding that quote while studying and applying the principles from this book will help you go where you want to go and find your identity.

After you have combed through the pages of this book, I highly suggest you purchase a few copies for those males who are important to you and for the next generation of young men who are longing to find meaning in life.

Remember, it’s not how you start but how you finish. If you can apply the principles of this book it will change your life forever. I leave you with these words, which changed my life more than 20 years ago. Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it. Carry these words with you on your journey to living on purpose.

Introduction

G

od created man with a purpose and an ultimate authority to lead by righteous principles to become a godly being.  His responsibilities are to God, family, and man.  When a man can't find his way, he is not following the divine authority for his life.  His purpose is spiritually connected to a higher deity. Kingdom principles have already been put in place and some of us have disconnected ourselves from the realm of the spirit.  It's appointed for man to live and to die, but if we don't obey the divine authority, we will die a spiritual death, being unable to live eternal life. (Hebrews 9:27)

There's a remarkable design by our Creator informing the world, creating man from the earth and thus woman from man, childbearing, generations after which begin to follow the standards of a remarkable structure. It is man's inheritance to live a prosperous life, fulfilling the plans set out for him.  A
