"Must-reading for anyone who cares about God's will for their life"
This book
dismantles confused notions of what it means to have a calling and offers a clear, biblical, and theologically informed view of what a Christian calling truly is.
"We have long needed a careful reconsideration of the ways the term 'call' is used, one that addresses both experiential and biblical realities. This book should be in every Christian's hands, whether one is searching for their 'call' or resigned to its absence. Countering the individualism and workaholism embedded in modern definitions of 'calling, ' Klein and Steiner remind us that, biblically, we are called to Christ and Christlikeness, to be the people of God. From that calling, we live every aspect of our lives wholly, no matter our circumstances."

"This is the most biblically rooted and practical treatment of calling I have read. Whether you are a pastor, student, or thoughtful marketplace leader, Klein and Steiner will inspire you toward theological reflection, personal implications, greater freedom, and a deeper sense of stewarding your life as God's called one."

"Like many other Christian notions, 'calling' is plagued by ambiguity. Using top-shelf biblical and theological insight, Klein and Steiner provide a gracious and uncompromising course correction. I commend
What Is My Calling? to all who desire biblical and theological clarity on their divine purpose."

"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."
