Many people are confused about God's call on their lives. What does it mean to have a calling? Is everyone called to something? This book clears up the confusion and articulates a whole-life vision for calling. Our calling is not a mystery waiting to be discovered but applies to a range of experiences and challenges: we are called to faithfulness in Christ in every dimension of our lives. The authors defend a thoroughly biblical and theological understanding of calling, empowering Christians to live faithfully as God's people in whatever circumstances they find themselves.

This book starts with information on Hosted Telecom/Call Center Services, because we'd like to introduce customer care companies to this relatively unknown discipline, which may provide huge time and money saving options in a call center environment. The applications are easier to use, which frees up time which supervisors and managers may use to address matters which should be their core business: training their agents in customer friendliness and optimizing agents' skills. The book further deals with communicative AND commercial skills, telesales, the sales process, call center operations, mystery calls, and enhancement of the self-image which makes for better performances.

Caring for our family members, friends, and others is a central part of a rewarding life. For those in healing and helping professions such as medicine, nursing, education, psychotherapy, social work, ministry, and the military, the potential for a meaningful way of being may even become more possible. But, compassion is not easy. At times, concern for others can be personally devastating when we don't possess the right attitude and approach. Reaching out (and reflectively within) without being pulled down requires the wisdom that only arises out of the right combination of humility and knowledge. Night Call offers the stories and principles gleaned over many years of writing and mentoring for those in the helping and healing professions. The stories are offered in ways that foster compassionate caring while encouraging initiative in those who seek to personally deepen and share their lives with others -- especially in times of significant need. With this in mind, Dr. Wicks presents information on: · being a healing presence · mining fruits of the failures all of us must experience at times · the need to enjoy the daily "crumbs of alonetime" · the importance of a spirit of "unlearning" · developing a simple realistic self-care program · valuing informal or formal mentoring · recognizing the "3 calls" to which we must respond to as we psychologically develop · honoring life's most elusive psychological virtue (humility) Purposely brief, the chapters, as well as the sections in the "personal resiliency retreat" section at the end of the book, have as their goal a reconsideration of values, signature strengths, and simple approaches to living a resilient, rewarding life. Rather than presenting new breakthroughs, Night Call is designed to dust off what most of us already know, at some level, so we can freshly view the key approaches and techniques that provide increased psychological self-awareness and a potentially healthier sense of presence to others. The themes offered may have been forgotten, or become undervalued/set aside because of some of society's dysfunctional norms or unhelpful family influences. In response, this simple, countercultural book combines the value of essential self-compassion with caring for others in ways that provide the impetus for further exploration of a fuller narrative for both the readers of this work and unforeseen opportunities as well for those who are fortunate enough to cross their paths.

This book came about by having, what I consider a normal conversation with my present pastor and wife. From that conversation, it was confirmed that my calling is to pray (maybe the main part); at this point I turned and looked at my husband. After the above conversation I remember (at the time) feeling dissatisfied with not having what the world views as success and was talking to the Lord about it. Following from this there was an event called “the flowing oil”. At the end of the event the guest speaker had anointing oil with him and were anointing, just a hand full of people. On at least one of the times he kept looking at me (as if he was to) but did not. I got home and asked myself the question “I am prepared to see my Lord?” This got me into gear. There was another book that I had started to work on when this book was birthed in my heart. It is an inspirational book about coming to the realization of what part of my calling is; notice the word part of my calling! Well over a period of time, I embraced it and while embracing my call; I started to feel empowered. This book is not just about my calling but about yours’ too! The intent also is to stir up your calling. You may feel as if you do not fit in and the world may not seem to offer you anything but God surely can. In the book of Matthew Jesus quotes in my father’s house (mansion) there are many rooms. What I am saying is there are enough rooms for you and he can use you here on earth whether it is in a secular way or in the church. Throughout this book, there is encouragement for grown ups, whether they are Christian or not, young or old, married or unmarried, having children or not and finally having a career or not. My book starts to unfold at the book of Genesis, as you keep reading, it also talks on mercy and ends with God’s love. In addition I touched on varied other topics such as sharing testimonies as stories and tips that I had found useful having a family. My co-writer Melissa, is a professional and has shared her own faith from childhood to when her business started a few years ago now.

Bestselling Author Helps Believers Embrace the Stigma of Faith In our increasingly secular society, being a Christian carries a cost. Whether through public criticism or the quiet loss of respect, it is hard--and becoming harder--to be known as a Christian. Even as believers try to follow the will of God, they are often misunderstood and left to deal with the awkward, sometimes painful results of feeling disconnected from their fellow man. Beloved Bible teacher R. T. Kendall offers hope. Turning the idea of stigma on its head, he shares his own story of rejection and embarrassment in the name of Christ--and how it became the source of unimaginable blessing. With warmth and understanding, he urges readers to embrace the offense that comes from their commitment to Jesus Christ, showing that when they do, the Lord will unleash into their lives incalculable blessing.
