Resumen del Editor

“Wrong ideas about our purpose and calling - and how to find them - can lead to wrong decisions that may impact our lives for years. Sadly, Christians have been given a lot of bad teaching on these topics, leaving many of us disoriented and discouraged. Through her own personal search for that ever-elusive mystical calling we’ve been told we must pursue, Teasi has become the wise and trusted guide we need to help disentangle us from all the well-intentioned but misguided information we’ve been given. In this new and updated version, she points us back to the true source of our purpose and callings, God himself, providing the necessary foundation that will both free and fulfill us.” (Brett Kunkle, founder and president of MAVEN and coauthor of A Practical Guide to Culture: Helping the Next Generation Navigate Today’s World)

Some people seem to find their calling with ease - opportunity nearly knocking a hole through their door. But what about the rest of us?

Teasi Cannon spent years scouring books, answering survey questions, taking countless self-focused personality tests, and begging God to reveal her divinely designed action plan she believed was out there somewhere. Still, she had no clue what her ultimate calling was, and her questioning became a source of lingering angst. She worried that maybe she had failed or was hopelessly flawed and grieved thinking maybe “special callings are only for special people” and God had destined her for a lifetime of the mundane.

Lord, Where’s My Calling? describes a life-changing course-correction that started with a ride on a tractor and a good look in the dictionary and ended with genuine contentment and renewed hope. Turns out a calling is not what Teasi had always presumed - and not at all what her life was missing.

In a world of conflicting opinions and identity confusion, you need timeless answers you can trust - especially to life’s most important questions like, “Who am I?” and “Why in the world am I here?” Teasi’s journey will lead you to biblically sound, yours-for-the-taking reasons for getting out of bed each morning and finding significance and joy in any calling you will ever have.

Uplifting, Freeing, And Encouraging

In a world where so many books are preaching that you need to "Do, Do, Do!", "Do More!", and "Make your dreams come true no matter what it costs you!" ...this book is such a breath of fresh air. Teasi is so encouraging and uplifting, and always points the reader back to our heavenly Father, reminding us that we really can trust and rest in Him. Her stories and analogies are SO relatable and you will feel like she really gets you! I highly recommend, especially for tired mamas who feel like they should be doing more.

The relief that truth brings!

The knowledge and wisdom Teasi shares in her newest edition offers a huge sigh of relief to readers. "Calling" continues to bind people up, causing them to feel inadequate, less important, and sometimes, even less loved. Teasi artistically sheds light on the lies surrounding this concept and brings clarity and freedom to those who are struggling. Through carefully crafted metaphors and sound biblical exegesis, she has brought an accessible, understandable, and practical resource into the world. And to hear it read in her own soothing voice? Yes, please!

Thank you, Teasi, for your dedication to all of us who sometimes need help untangling Jesus and culture.
