Description
Getting a Life: Living Your Call is about finding meaning and purpose. Writing from a Christian perspective but also addressing readers who embrace other worldviews, it uses stories and examples to help readers examine their gifts, experience, and motivations as clues to God's direction for their lives. Chapters are devoted to faith as an everyday experience, identity, how to be confident in what we know, the importance of community, moral health, central issues of Christian faith, and various worldview options as key elements on the way to understanding one's job and vocation. Excellent for individual, group, or classroom use, it serves as a primer for epistemology, soteriology, ecclesiology, ethics, and apologetics, as well as worldview and culture studies while keeping its focus on practical questions of life engagement and the choice of profession. The book offers help for developing a personal mission statement and encouragement for life-giving disciplines.
