Courage and Calling

Courage and Calling has helped thousands of readers explore questions such as these: - What is my calling? - How do I live it out in the midst of difficult relationships or moral challenges? - Will my vocation change as I enter a new stage of life? - With competing needs and demands, how can I craft a balanced way of living? Smith explores how to pursue excellence in all kinds of work and how to continue growing throughout a lifetime. He also considers four examples of particular callings: business, the arts, education, and religious leadership. This third edition includes a new chapter that explores how a church community can be a dynamic venue for discerning vocation. Church leaders can help sustain a conversation about vocation, work, and career, and celebrate the diverse ways in which God is calling people. From students exploring careers to elders leaving a legacy, this book provides rich insight for all who long to courageously follow God's call.
