Synopsis

Our Christian culture tends to emphasize specific life callings. God does call certain believers to specific short-term tasks or even lifelong careers. But too many of us are waiting for God to hand us a dream job or reveal some big plan for our lives. All we really need to know has already been revealed in Scripture by directives like “love God and love others” and “seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.” Daniel Ryan Day defines the difference between “specific callings” and “common callings” so you can become an “intentional Christian,” finding fulfillment by serving God in all things.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Moses got a burning bush. Noah was told to build an ark. Wouldn’t it be nice if your calling was just as obvious?
 
God does give direct callings, but most of us won’t get a message written across the sky, or even a text telling us our next move. We’re left to ask, “What am I supposed to be doing with my life?” If you’re growing tired of waiting for a sign or wondering if God really does have a plan, that’s okay. Sometimes our sense of the perfect life, the dream job, or that "one thing" that God is surely calling us to do can be a bit warped.
 
If you’ve bought into the idea that you aren’t living the “best” Christian life unless you’ve found your perfect calling, this book is for you. Don’t waste your energy struggling to figure out the big picture. Just ask the question, “God, why am I here?” His answer may be simpler than you’d ever imagine.
