Carol M. Bechtel (Suggestions for Leaders by Joyce MacKichan Walker)
No matter where you are on your life's journey, this study will challenge you to ask, "What am I called to do? Who am I called to be? What am I called to say?"
It is often assumed that only those who go into some kind of formal, full-time ministry have heard a "call." In Above and Beyond, Old Testament scholar and pastor Carol Bechtel looks at what God's call meant for Jonah and Ruth. Not just a "fish story" or a "Cinderella tale," these biblical books, says Bechtel, offer us insight into what it means for each of us to hear and heed God's call.
