Synopsis

Some people think that vocation is just for special people… but God calls us all to live our lives shaped and directed by his call. This course for small groups explores the meaning of vocation for everyone. It offers five interactive sessions:

• Called by God: The shape of God’s call in Scripture
  
• Called from within: Drawing out the call and gifts that God has planted in us
  
• Called out: How God sets us free from everything that stops us responding to God's call.
  
• Called up: Understanding how God calls us to join in with his loving care of the world.
  
• Called on: how we can grow in our sense of calling beyond the end of the course.

This course helps people to embark on an adventure with God – a journey through life in which we make a contribution to the world around us. Each session contains enough material for a 90-minute session and includes:

• Guidelines and full background notes for leaders
  
• Interactive activities
  
• Discussion starters
  
• Multi-media ideas e.g. film and music
  
• Resources for worship

Each group member will need a copy of the book.

Review

'All Christians are called by God. Life Calling offers both opportunity and encouragement to think about the many ways God may call us to discipleship and service.'
--Joanna Cox, Church of England National Adviser in lay discipleship and shared ministry

'What does it mean to be truly "called of God"? Life Calling will help the members of any local congregation to discover (or rediscover) for themselves the meaning of Christian vocation - in general and in individual life and work. It's a course that I for one have long waited to see.'
--John Adair, Leadership expert and author of How to find your vocation
