Do you feel you have a calling but wonder how to fulfill it?</i></p><p>As we pursue a sense of purpose and scramble to be the ones chosen for internships, graduate schools, marriages, careers, or some special honor, we often tie our identity to people, places, and clear plans that leave us frustrated and unfulfilled. We feel like we're missing the life we're supposed to live and we somehow veered off course. We ask questions like, "Is this God's plan for me? How do I know? What is His plan, anyway?" What if Scripture not only answered these questions but also taught us an entirely new way of living? Instead of waiting for the perfect person, place, or plan, what if we lived, above all else, as chosen <i>for Christ</i>? </p><p><i>Chosen for Christ</i> invites you to step into the life you've been missing. You were chosen for a <i>Person, </i>not a plan. Now it's time to live out your calling to: </p><ul><li><i>worship </i>Jesus </li><li><i>live as</i> His treasured possession</li><li><i>belong </i>to a new household</li><li><i>become </i>like Jesus</li><li><i>display </i>God's power</li><li><i>complete</i> the good works He designed for you</li><li><i>live differently</i> from the rest of the world</li></ul><p>In a world fixated on personal purpose and impact, <i>Chosen for Christ</i> presents a new way to think about calling. Each chapter includes discussion questions that will help women embrace their identity as chosen ones and step into a new way of living each new day. </p><p><i>Chosen for Christ </i>completes Heather Holleman's vivid verbs trilogy, which also includes <i>Seated with Christ</i> and <i>Guarded by Christ</i>. It works wonderfully as a stand-alone book or as a powerful companion to her previous works. It also provides an expansion of ideas that appear briefly in Holleman's devotional <i>Included in Christ. </i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>It's Time to Stop Letting Rejection Write Your Story</b></p><p>We all want to be chosen for something or someone--to be picked, set apart, wanted. And too often, we live out of the rejections of our lives, rather than the ways we've been chosen, Even after we've found our marriage partner, dream job, or hard-earned accolade, we can't seem to escape that longing, that desire to <i>feel</i> chosen. </p><p>That's because you were chosen by an extraordinary God to live an extraordinary life, and Jesus is calling you deeper. In <i>Chosen for Christ</i>, Heather Holleman walks you through <b>seven invitations</b> that mark the life of those who know they are chosen. If you're tired of scrambling, striving, and scheming to feel like you've done enough, it's time to ask: How would you live differently if you truly understood that you are already chosen, for this life, for this moment, for Jesus? </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>HEATHER HOLLEMAN</b> is a speaker, teacher, and author who loves helping people connect with Jesus, especially through scripture.
