Review If your occupation is an overwhelming preoccupation and your identity is dependent on your job, then this is for you. -- Jim PittsIn this thoughtful book Cadenhead reminds us that we can feel the power of Gods love in quiet moments. -- Ken Garfield, The Charlotte Observer, Religion EditorThese important and thoughtful reflections take us on a significant journey that challenges our culture of "self-worth as accomplishment." -- L. Gregory Jones, Dean and Professor of theology, Duke University Divinity School Product Description Who am I? Such a question is far more than just a philosophical one. Instead, the question goes right to the core of our individual struggles to define our selves apart from the labels our lives have place on us. Who am I apart from my profession? Who am I apart from my relationships? Who am I apart from my very humanness? In Gods Call to Be: When Being Precedes Doing, acclaimed pastor and author Al Cadenhead, Jr., helps us to peel back the layers of our selves to discover the beings that God intended us to be. The place to begin, Cadenhead writes, is to claim that I am convinced that at the center of my soul is life, not life that is determined by the beating of my heart, but life that comes to me by the Creator God who gives to us the small, but important, piece of His divine image. We may be created out of clay, but through that clay runs just enough of the divine image to make us always long for Him. Gods Call to Be will help you rediscover a sense of peace in your life through your own natural connections to God. About the Author Al Cadenhead Jr. is Senior Pastor of Providence Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is also the author of My First Last Day at School, Time Flies When Youre Having Fun, and When Youre Not, and Hurry Up and Rest.
