Quarter-Life Calling: Pursuing Your God-Given Purpose in Your Twenties

by Paul Sohn

Overview

A young leadership expert guides fellow Christian Millennials on their quest to live and work meaningfully.

Even though he seemed to have achieved it all, including landing his dream job at a Fortune 500 company, throughout his twenties Paul Sohn struggled with feelings of inadequacy, emptiness, and disillusionment. Something was very wrong. Finally at twenty-eight, after much contemplation and a life-changing encounter with his mentor, Paul traded in his high-paying job and sought a more meaningful life. Now, having achieved a sense of happiness and fulfillment like never before, and after examining all that he has learned along the way, Paul wants to help young adults avoid the pitfalls he succumbed to, including madly chasing empty financial success. His goal is to help others pursue their God-given purpose, and in Quarter-Life Calling, he shares enlightening biblical insights and practical ways to make it happen.
