More Description

Calling is more than some mysterious experience of the super-religious or the young who are trying to find their places in life. It is at the very center of any life well-lived. It gives meaning and purpose to an otherwise confusing existence, no matter what age we are.
Providing more than just a theoretical exploration of how calling works, this book offers practical suggestions on how to prepare for a call and how to respond to it.
In our culture, calling may be used to refer to a holy directive, a higher purpose, an unquenchable desire, or a discovery of our true selves. While communal use of the word demonstrates the profound influence of religion on our culture, it does not come without a price. There is often confusion in the Christian community about the biblical meaning of calling and how to go about discerning it.
If you are interested in discovering your own calling or helping others discover theirs in a manner consistent with biblical revelation, Dr. Collins offers this book to help you learn

* what it means to "see" signs from God
* what it means to accurately know yourself in regards to calling
* how to discern God's call by using a holistic approach
* how to respond to a call responsibly
