The Lamp and the Light: A Parable About Finding Life's Purpose

Why are you really here? Is this the life you were put here to live? What could you do, if only you had the nerve, courage, resources? Purpose. We're all looking for it. But it often seems that finding one can be daunting, puzzling, even overwhelming. In this short book, Umair explains, through the story of a little lamp who can't seem to glow, what a purpose truly is, where it comes from--and where it can take you. If, that is, you're ready to find yours.

Struggle by struggle, the little lamp seeks the light inside himself--and begins to find it where, and how, he least expected. And though they often seem difficult, if not downright impossible to find, the truth is that your life's purpose, like the little lamp's, is probably hidden in plain sight.

Irreverent and instructive, The Lamp and the Light is a short modern day fable that helps readers tackle the often frustrating, sometimes heart-wrenching, yet necessary and profound questions of purpose--instead of having to suffer nail-biting panic attacks over them. A quick, and easy to read parable, The Lamp and the Light will entertain readers of all ages--and guide, challenge, and inspire them to live fully.
