Book Description

Publication Date: February 2008

Finding a new job can be an overwhelming experience. Instead of becoming flustered and losing hope, many job seekers find comfort in knowing God has a plan and a purpose for their life and career.

Not only does this book reveal the seven-step process to discovering the Master F.I.T. for one's career, it offers Christ-Centered coaching questions and spirit-inspired "pocket prayers" for power and peace every step of the journey. The guide helps Christians discover the new definition of a J.O.B.-a Journey of Becoming!

Excellent balance between Biblical truth and cutting-edge job search skill training. This book has been needed for years. It is a must read for any Christian considering a job search, and it is an essential for anyone in the local church who is ministering to those in career transition.

This review is from: The Christian's Career Journey: Finding the Job God Designed for You (Paperback)

"The Christian's Career Journey addresses the business side of the job acquisition process, the personal issues and the spiritual issues. If you are a Christian and you are trying to find your place in your work life, this book will get you there."

I recently used information and ideas from Susan's book at a Youth For Christ Conference in Ocean City, Maryland where more than 3,800 high school students gathered and the response to the ideas and techniques Susan suggests were very well received by students and Youth Leaders alike.

The book is a staple in my career coaching tools as I work with professionals, executives, technical workers and scientists. It is truely an inspiring and insightful book.
