Your life only makes sense in the context of God's plan to finish the Great Commission. God has given us the direction we need to make our lives count and leave our mark on eternity. When we find it, we move from merely existing to truly living life on purpose.
Claude and Rebecca have traveled ten months of the year since 2000, speaking to over one hundred and eighty thousand students at college campuses, conferences, and churches in the U.S., casting vision for the evangelization of the world. Claude speaks nationally at Perspectives classes and NVision Seminars.

Jen Prince, MidSouth WSN Director, Campus Crusade for Christ
“Straightforward, honest words that send a message of hope and purpose to a generation of students who could form the greatest sending force ever to help reach the largest population of spiritually desperate people ever in our world! In the hands of students in our movements, this tool can be a great supplement to discipleship. Use it as you guide them to their next step in following the North Star to the uttermost parts of the earth - watch students grow in their vision for God’s glory after reading Live Life on Purpose.”
Mark Schuitema, Campus Crusade for Christ
“Claude is a man of purpose; God’s purpose. What Claude captures in this book is a call to live life fully, not focused on our own end, but focused on God’s bigger eternal plan. This book is not for the faint of heart; prepare for your life to be interrupted. Every Christian who wants to be a part of God’s purpose needs to read this book.”
Bill Jones , Columbia International University
“A prophet to his own generation, Claude points his readers to the true North Star and challenges them to a journey that will make a world of difference.”
David Mays, ACMC
“This book is a strong challenge to young people to give their lives for God’s purposes. This book is contemporary, energetic, ‘all out.’ Give it to every young person you know.”
Jim Raymo, Author of Marching to a Different Drummer, Former Pres. of WEC International
“Many books and articles encouraging the younger generation to seek a meaningful "purpose for their lives" are written by the older generation sometimes with language that fails to capture the millennial generation's heartbeat. The book, Live Life on Purpose, is written by a young guy full of life and love for Jesus with an ability to make his message heard in language and style that resonates with his generation. His own spiritual pilgrimage includes decisions that, though difficult, were "based on the compass of what God was doing" in his life. Claude's book and life are resulting in many young people being challenged with God's extravagant love for the nations. I highly recommend it.”
Steve Shadrach, Director of Mobilization for the U.S. Center for World Missions, Founder of Student Mobilization, Author of Fuel and the Flame.
"Live Life on Purpose has captured the message and passion of global missions and made it relevant to a generation looking to give themselves to an eternal cause. I've worked with college students for 25 years and this would be a great resource to take any campus ministry staff, student, or volunteer through. Warning:: It will ignite a vision for the world!”
Neil McClendon, Obed’s House Ministries, National Itinerant Communicator
"Call this a weapon, a tool, a compass or a wake-up call but whatever you do, don't call this just a book. Claude Hickman invites Christians to change their major from ‘undecided’ to ‘understood.’ Awash in spiritual truth and marinated by a God-centered life, Live Life on Purpose is an invitation to humanity to comprehend why they are breathing.”
Jeff Lewis, International Communicator and Mobilizer, Director of The Global Center and Assistant Professor of Intercultural Studies at California Baptist University.
“Claude has captured the global context of God’s mandate given to every follower of Christ, and has clearly articulated His truth to an audience that is paramount in the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom to the ends of the earth. I recommend Live Life on Purpose to college and university students and those who desire to use their lives to impact the Kingdom.”
