Publisher Description
Ever wish you had a road map to follow to your God-given destiny?
The Calling Journey is just such a map, revealing the common stages and transitions leaders go through on the pathway to their call. As you read what successful leaders from all walks of life experienced on the destiny road, you'll gain an amazing perspective on how God is leveraging everything in your own story to make his dream for you come true. Along the way, you'll learn how to identify key stages in your own journey and build a personal calling timeline. When you discover what God's agenda is for each stage, you can lean into what he is doing in you instead of fighting the process.
Developed by a master leadership coach, the timeline model emerged from comparing the life stories of biblical characters to those of contemporary leaders. Through hundreds of coaching encounters, plus extensive interviews with Christian leaders in business, ministry, politics and other spheres, Tony discovered that God takes each of us through predictable stages of upward growth separated by "valleys" of adversity and inner formation. While we tend to view the difficult times in the valleys as failures or detours, Tony shows how they form a vital part of God's strategy for leadership development. Just as Joseph's repeated betrayal and elevation birthed the life message that is his greatest legacy ("You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good"), The Calling Journey shows how the Great Redeemer transforms times of heartache into the seedbed of a world-changing life.
The Calling Journey depicts four stages and three valleys on an easy-to-understand graphical timeline. Dozens of personal stories (along with tales of historical and biblical travelers) bring the journey to life. Coupled with an innovative understanding of call as the unique way Jesus is incarnated in us by our story, this in-depth look at the purpose of life reveals how God truly is good all the time.

Danielle from Cali
The Calling Journey was pivotal for my husband and me. After 16 years of ministry, we obeyed Gods voice to move to California. We had no idea how much that obedience was going to cost us. We spent 8 years in a very dark valley season being tested. God was meeting us, but at the same time, we often questioned if we had failed or missed something along the way. The Calling Journey came to us at just the right time. It helped us make sense of the circumstances and opened our hearts to what God was really working on in us. Through this book, we discovered we were right on track for how He's been forming leaders since the beginning of time! Once we were able to get on board with heaven's perspective, God has been restoring and blessing us beyond our wildest dreams. We can't thank Tony enough for the insight in this book! We recommend this to anyone going through transition or challenging circumstances.
