Leaving a career to follow a call Milton, Michael A. Additional Author mixed material bibliography Eugene Wipf and Stock Publishers 2000 monographic en English If you are one of those people who think making career choices is a difficult problem, try to imagine how that decision may be compounded when God interjects His call to drop everything and follow Him into an often-undefined ministry! Dr. Michael Milton shares some very candid and illuminating insights on a dilemma that is of interest to a wide readership." -D. James Kennedy, Sr. Minister, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church "Dr. Milton has provided a biblical, theological, practical, and devotional roadmap for these who are 'Leaving a Career to Follow a Call. He combines thoughtful reflection on his own experience and careful study of the Scripture to create a clear guide for an inspiring journey." -David B. Calhoun, Ph.D. Prof. of Church History, Covenant Theological Sen nary, St. Louis, Missouri In my years of teaching at Reformed Theological Seminary I observed that there was a increasing number of "second-career" students who had left a career to follow a call learned that phenomenon is common with other seminaries as well. Many of the second-carver students did well in their academic work and later had fruitful ministries. A few dropped out of seminary or demitted the ministry after a brief period of service after ordination There are unique challenges, obstacles, and pressures that second-career seminarians and ministers and their families face. Dr. Milton has dealt wisely and effectively with those issues in this work. By writing this book has done a great service to the Church and all involved in leaving a career to follow a call. Leaving a Career to Follow a Call will be helpful not only to second-career seminarians and ministers, but also to their families, churches, friends, and professors 248.41579103472 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 248.4 Mil l E07003319 Non Fiction 248.4 Mil l Leaving_a_career_to_follow_a_call.jpg 27287 2014-11-06 09:18:35 2025-11-04 18:00:31 machine generated
