Getting A Life will be an excellent resource for high school and post-secondary students who are wrestling with future life directions. It not only addresses questions of vocation and career but, more importantly, identity and character, recognizing that one's primary commitments precede any decisions about profession. The book's tone is invitational as it seeks to show how a Christian world view can help us make life-giving choices in a sometimes bewildering postmodern world. Sheila Klassen-Wiebe Associate Professor of New Testament Canadian Mennonite University If you cannot take a trip to Mt. Horeb to hear the still small voice and God's question "What are you doing here?" this book is the next-best word. Much more than a textbook, this text can serve as a life-guide to be used with the Bible. Wise, gentle, sensitive, smart. Lynn Jost Professor of Old Testament and Preaching Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary On their journey through this book, readers are invited to reflect on matters of self-identity and faith formation. With examples from pop culture, discussions of biblical texts, and suggested reflection questions, this book can be a helpful resource for use at colleges and universities where there is a commitment to help students discern their calling as followers of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah of God. Christina Bucher Carl W. Ziegler Professor of Religion Elizabethtown College Doug Miller has provided a much-needed resource for college and university students embarking on the exciting and overwhelming journey of self-discovery toward meaning, identity formation, and vocation. It will be a welcome addition to any curriculum that attempts to shape hearts as well as minds from a Christian perspective. Paul Keim Professor of Bible and Religion Goshen College
