• Describes what it means to be called -- to live a life that fully uses our talents and adds the most lasting value to the world
• Explains how to hear your call, muster the courage to respond to it, and stay on track to make your vision a reality, even when faced with saboteurs who try to squelch your dreams of living a "called" life
• Includes principles and guidelines for creating a life of significance, illustrated with concrete and practical real-world examples
So many people today feel "called" to find more in their lives beyond the usual definitions of success, to live lives of purpose and meaning. Answering Your Call is aimed at people who know they are on the planet for a reason and want more than encouragement-they want to get precise about it.
John Schuster helps readers address questions like:
• Am I really hearing the call, or is it something else, like wishful thinking?
• How do I deal with times of doubt?
• Why does it seem like it takes so long to discover my call?
• Is it possible to have more than one calling in a lifetime, or even operating at the same time?
• How do I best handle saboteurs who seem to want to squelch my desire to live a "called" life?
• What do I do if I am my own saboteur?
Answering Your Call provides exercises that appeal to our practical side as well as inspirational examples from history and literature. It is a spiritual how-to book, not on how to pray or meditate, but how to discern what it is that the world needs you to do.
