COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- CALLED: Becoming Who You were Born to Be, a newly-released book written by a cutting-edge, young leader, challenges readers to go beyond a watered-down faith that asks nothing of them.
Author Kary Oberbrunner uses personal stories and illustrations to demonstrate that most Christians are unknowingly living an impoverished faith. The book boldly proclaims that, 'The Gospel isn't simply accepting Jesus into your heart, it's also following Him with your life.' CALLED is written for today's believer who struggles with today's unique challenges.
CALLED presents a model of discipleship that allows believers to truly become who they were born to be. The book is centered on a proven model of discipleship that has been field-testing in the training of leaders within local churches.
Dr. Gene A. Getz wrote the foreword, and the book has been endorsed widely by faculty and staff at institutions, ministries, and publications including Grand Rapids Theological Seminary, Ashland Theological Seminary, Grace Theological Seminary, Dallas Theological Seminary, Campus Crusade, Cedarville University, Word of Life, InterVarsity, Relevant magazine, and Ministry Today magazine.
One endorser, Rob Yackley, Director of NieuCommunities, a 42-week missional experience designed to help people live out a deep and contagious spirituality, writes, 'Bonhoeffer's call to discipleship for his generation was a call to come and die. Oberbrunner's call to discipleship for his generation is a call to come and live. CALLED offers a pathway forward, toward a life worth living.'
Kary Oberbrunner is founder of Redeem the Day ministries and author of The Journey Towards Relevance. He earned his M. Div. in Counseling and his D. Min. in Transformational Leadership. He serves as Director of Grace Institute and Pastor of Discipleship and Leadership Development at the Grace Brethren Church of Powell, Ohio. He is a frequent keynote speaker who also provides life-coaching and consultation.
On March 28, 2007, Kary begins his book tour, Becoming who you were born to be, throughout cities in the Midwest. He will be addressing churches, colleges, and seminaries.
