Lord, Where's My Calling?


Book Description

Some people seem to find their calling with ease - opportunity nearly knocking a hole through their door. But what about the rest of us? We've all been told it's out there. Our special calling, that is. Books and programs abound, telling us how amazing our Christian life will be once we find it. Yet after years of scouring books, taking countless surveys, and begging God to reveal the divinely dictated action plan you just knew would someday come, perhaps you still don't have a clue about what your big calling is. If you have ever thought, "Maybe I've failed, or perhaps I've blinked one too many times and missed my chance to do something amazing for God," then this book is for you. If you have ever feared that "special callings are only for special people and that God has destined you for a mundane life," then this book is for you. When author Teasi Cannon had nearly lost hope, God began a lifesaving redirect in her life that started with a tractor ride and a good look at the dictionary. Turns out that a calling is not what she had always presumed--and not what most of us have been taught. What she did find is a greater reason for getting out of bed each morning, and a truth that opens the door to any calling any of us will ever have. Best of all, the answer was something she had easy access to all along. It's yours for the taking too, right this very minute.




Defining The Call


Book Description

Defining the Call explores the question, "How do you know if God is calling you or someone you love to ministry?" Is there a clear distinction between believers who are set apart for ministry compared to those called to a more secular direction of service?In this book, Daniel looks at the unique character traits and giftings that individuals with a ministerial calling have, as well as the spiritual journey that each of them must take in order to identify possible weaknesses.In doing so, Daniel looks at three of the familiar patriarchs of the Older Testament: Joseph, Moses and David, and discusses some of the trials they had to face and what lessons they learned in order to become the great Biblical leaders we've come to honor and love.In studying these men's lives, one will discover that the very tests and trials that they endured are no different for those who have a calling to ministry."From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48

The Master's Cabinet


Book Description

Whether in business, government, or even ministry, effective leaders must be able to delegate many responsibilities. And because they depend so much on their deputies, it is vital that these leaders have a high degree of trust in their closest advisors. For example, the distinguished men and women who serve the President of the United States in his cabinet must go through an exhaustive selection process, including numerous background checks and Senate confirmation. This rigorous examination guarantees that only those who have the complete trust and confidence of the chief executive will be chosen. In the same manner, the twelve disciples who served in the Master's cabinet were carefully chosen. But who were these men who were so important to Jesus' ministry? Culled from a variety of backgrounds, they were extremely important figures--for it was the disciples who carried the story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection throughout the world. Had they not remained faithful, even when faced with death, our understanding of God's love in Jesus Christ might well be very different. The Master's Cabinet examines the life and influence of each of the disciples. As you read these essays, you'll get a clear picture of the key role these men played in the spreading of the faith, and appreciate the enormous debt of gratitude we owe them for their selfless service.




Rich Wounds


Book Description

Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
