This book was pivotal in helping me put the pieces together and plot a course towards a deeper understanding of business as mission.<br /><br />Here's a write-up from the website and Amazon, "Convergence is the season when seemingly separate life-threads are woven together for your ultimate purpose. At this juncture in your life, you have cause to say: “Yes! This is me; this is what my life is for.”<br /><br />Convergence happens when individuals discover their unique blend of Career, Community, Creativity and Call. This discovery is often a result of deliberate decisions to submit, through steps of obedience, to what one understands of God and his ways. <span class="fullpost">We usually pass through seven seasons before coming to the point of Convergence. These seasons are crafted by God to shape us into a people prepared for his purposes. They include: Faith, Fearing and Hearing God, Discovering Your Gifts, Skills Building, Internal Integrity, (Re) choosing Your Spouse, The University of the Desert."<br /><br />Brett is the founder of Equip, an organization with a clear focus to repurpose business.
