A Time for Change?: Re-Visioning Your Call

Author: James E. Hightower Jr. & W. Craig Gilliam

This book is an excellent, life-saving resource for those caught in the cultural stereotypes about what constitutes a call and how it can be expressed.  It leads readers through a series of guided exercises designed to help them examine their deepest motivations for entering parish ministry.  It also enables explorers to examine their gifts for ministry and how they could be best expressed given the variety of forms of ministry that exist.  the best gift of this written resource is that it provides the explorer permission and sanction to question and explore what is sometimes forbidden in popular notions about ministry and the call.
