Customer Reviews

A great resource for individuals, schools, and churches.

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.

Live Your Calling - A must read!!

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.

Unique Career Resource

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.

Powerful Guide to Finding Your Niche

I have used the Live Your Calling material as a guide to integrating my career and sense of purpose in life. It has been an awesome tool to provide practical empirically-based answers to the tough decisions of what vocational positions should I pursue and under what conditions that are best for me. Kevin & Kay-Marie are no nonsense writers that dig beneath the surface and force you to come to grips with the bigger picture of our work. They help you see that your calling is comprised of your values, temperament, motivational patterns, personal history, family, purpose and more. I think you will enjoy Live Your Calling as I have and it will provide a practical guide to finding your mission in life.

What could be more important?

This is a steller book that helped me figure out whether or not I am doing the right thing with my life and my career. The authors helped me identify the things that are most important to me, and to evaluate my job and home life to make sure I honor my mission in life. I found it a very practical, yet also thought-provoking book. The best resource I've seen to help match the inner life with the outer life. Well done!
