Calling: How the Bible Draws the Line Between True and False Calling

Book excerpt: God never intends His calling for our lives to be a mystery to solve or a list of things to do. It's an open invitation to know Him intimately. The deeper we know God and dwell in His Word, the more naturally we discern His will. The secret is that there is no secret. This book will not teach you how to look for 'signs'. discover your gifts or hear a 'voice'. Nor will it tell you which career, ministry or marriage partner to choose. Rather, this book will take you on a journey through 24 Bible stories and examine how God calls His people and how people respond (or fail to respond). Drawing from four decades of experience in counselling and walking alongside seminary students in Hong Kong, Dr Philip Yeung uses Scripture powerfully and practically to address common misconceptions, questions and struggles expressed by Christians about discerning God's calling.
