5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Career Resource, December 15, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Live Your Calling: A Practical Guide to Finding and Fulfilling Your Mission in Life (Paperback)
I am the director of a career center at a Christian college and have looked at more books than I can remember, trying to find one that incorporated all the elements I was looking for: solid Biblical underpinning, excellent and respected assessments, material that reflected a sophisticated understanding of the highly complex nature of career decision making, and something that was usable with a group. Well, this is it. I couldn't be more pleased and my hat is off to the Brennfleck's for their remarkable accomplishment. I have chosen this book for my career class and would recommend it to anyone seeking clarity about vocation and calling for the Christian in a confusing and challenging time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for individuals, schools, and churches., February 26, 2005
This review is from: Live Your Calling: A Practical Guide to Finding and Fulfilling Your Mission in Life (Paperback)
The practical information, assessments, and helps in "Live Your Calling" offer encouragement and hope as people seek the best way to use their personal strengths and gifts in their life work. This unique book can be used by individuals or for small group study (a small group study guide is included), as my church is doing. It is appropriate for young people making career decisions for the first time and for adults who want to review their mission in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Live Your Calling - A must read!!, January 19, 2005
This review is from: Live Your Calling: A Practical Guide to Finding and Fulfilling Your Mission in Life (Paperback)
Live your calling is a great book for any stage of life. Younger people can be stretched in their thinking of how they really want to use the gifts that God has given them. For the mid-life generation it is a great way to discern God's purpose for the second half of your life.

You will not be disappointed.
