Sounds like you may have read The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren. If you haven’t yet done so, I think you would likely find it spiritually-uplifting and a great source of motivation for your own life journey. People will question whether they are in control of their lives and what they can realy do to change anything about themselves or the world around them.
