About this ebook
"Called" is on the cutting edge of Christian leadership principles in this postmodern society. It seeks to abolish antiquated notions of leadership, while seeking to elucidate the differences between transactional and transformational leadership.
Each chapter is a dynamic juxta-positioning of Scripture, pregnant with dynamic principles that gently urge the reader to spiritually and professionally prepare for the most important ministry on earth- the ministry of shepherding AND/ OR leading God’s flock!
Every chapter ends with a concise summary, provocative study questions and a poetic summary.
"Called" is a must have in your library . It is a must read for ALL leaders in every facet of the gospel ministry!!!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Picked this up at random one night when my head wouldn't let me sleep. Perfect choice. It feels like a fantasy vignette, the heroine and plot fade in, the novel happens, and the heroine fades back into her own.
I love Andre Norton. Recommended for a light read.
