JESUS Career Counselor: How to Find (and Keep) Your Perfect Work
Howard Books, May 2010
Written to help readers get, find, and keep the work they love, JESUS, Career Counselor weaves together practical self-help concepts, intriguing stories, relevant statistics, and Bible scriptures. Divided into four sections centered on the four natural
giftings or personalities of people, this book explores twelve dreams that God has for each individual -- including rise, risk, roar, renew,
regenerate, rejoice, relate, and more. It then instructs readers in how to realize each one of these dreams, no matter their natural inclination.
As individual personalities of Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind are explored, the book explains how the Fire of excitement
translates to Leadership Skills, how the Earth of grounding translates into Good Habits and Character Development, how the Water of life-giving becomes Relationship Skills, and how the Wind of release becomes the Creativity and Innovation, which are in high demand
in every industry in the world today.
Readers will learn how to discover their four greatest talents and
create their personal Talent Shield, which will help them choose a
meaningful career based on their Life's Mission Statement.
Each chapter serves as a free-standing career guidepost, and includes
Career Exercises, pertinent Word Definitions, Career Choices for
individual gifting, Self-Quizzes, and Reader Study Guides.
