About this title

Synopsis

Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? How can I make a difference? These questions have to do with the topic of vocation. Vocation is more than what one does for a living in terms of one’s career. Vocation is a lens that helps believers see the larger story of who they are regarding their calling with God through faith in Jesus and how they are called to love and serve their neighbors through their everyday callings. But how can one personally and practically apply this relevant teaching of the church to the daily lives of believers? The answer is found in coaching!
Coaches and ministry leaders seeking to help everyday believers find purpose and meaning in their lives will find this book invaluable. The research and practical tools contained within serve as a “technical manual” to Guse’s first book, Called2B. This book provides a biblical and theological framework for understanding how coaching can empower believers to discover and live out their authentic calling in Christ in their daily lives to make a greater kingdom impact in their different stations of life—Family, Church, Lifework, and Society. Who have you been called to be?
