Guidelines and full background notes for leaders
Interactive activities
Discussion starters

film and music

Reviews / Votes
'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 '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 ministryMore details
