QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

IN HIS NEW BOOK, Get a Life! It is all about you, Reggie McNeal of Leadership Network in Dallas—a nonprofit public charity that fosters church innovation and growth—says paying attention to our spiritual development, "including our relationship with the God who made us," pays big dividends. Among other things, he maintains, our relationship to God provides "the ultimate capacity to build bridges that let us off the island of self into the world beyond us."

The book recommends that readers consider five questions to help them live a life of greater focus and meaning:

• Why am I here?
• What is really important to me?
• What is my score card?
• What am I good at?
• What do I need to learn?
