PRACTICAL THEOLOGY, SPIRITUALITY, and FORMATION
WHAT IS MY CALLING? A Biblical and Theological Exploration of Christian Identity William W. Klein and Daniel J. Steiner Many people are confused about God’s call on their lives. What does it mean to have a calling? Is everyone called to something? This book clears up the confusion and articulates a whole-life vision for calling. According to William Klein and Daniel Steiner, our calling is not a mystery waiting to be discovered but a gift already given through a relationship with Christ: we are called to faithfulness in Christ in every dimension of our lives. The authors defend a thoroughly biblical and theological understanding of calling, em- powering Christians to live faithfully as God’s people in whatever circumstances they find themselves. “Klein and Steiner’s book should be in every Christian’s hands, whether one is searching for their ‘call’ or resigned to its absence.” —MARIAM KAMELL KOVALISHYN, Regent College “The desire to understand one’s calling is particularly important for students in Bible colleges and seminaries, so this book is a must-read for their professors and mentors. However, this study shows that calling is also a crucial issue for every believer.” —CYNTHIA LONG WESTFALL, McMaster Divinity College “This is the most biblically rooted and practical treatment of calling I have read.” —BRIAN GRAY, COO, Denver Institute for Faith & Work “In an age when many Christians think of ‘calling’ in a mysterious, individualistic, and job-oriented way, Klein and Steiner bring us back to the essence of biblical call- ing. I heartily recommend this book.” —DONALD FAIRBAIRN, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary “This is must-reading for anyone who cares about God’s will for their life.” —CRAIG L. BLOMBERG, Denver Seminary “Like many other Christian notions, ‘calling’ is plagued by ambiguity. I commend What Is My Calling? to all who desire biblical and theological clarity on their divine purpose.” —BRANDON WASHINGTON, pastor, The Embassy Church
