Defining the Call explores the question, "How do you know if God is calling you or someone you love to ministry?" Is there a clear distinction between believers who are set apart for ministry compared to those called to a more secular direction of service?In this book, Daniel looks at the unique character traits and giftings that individuals with a ministerial calling have, as well as the spiritual journey that each of them must take in order to identify possible weaknesses.In doing so, Daniel looks at three of the familiar patriarchs of the Older Testament: Joseph, Moses and David, and discusses some of the trials they had to face and what lessons they learned in order to become the great Biblical leaders we've come to honor and love.In studying these men's lives, one will discover that the very tests and trials that they endured are no different for those who have a calling to ministry."From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48

Drawing upon the collective knowledge and insight of expert authors from Australia, China, Eastern Europe, Italy, the UK, and the United States, the work provides a comprehensive examination of the topic of callings suitable for collegiate students, professors, and professional scholars interested in topics at the interface of science and religion. It will also benefit general readers seeking the expertise of psychologists, neuroscientists, and theologians from various backgrounds and worldviews who explain why it is important to "do what you were meant to do."
