Description

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.

Advance Praise

I love this book! Paul Sohn will cause you to think Kingdom thoughts while you are living your life. There is a lot of meat here; don’t miss it.”

—Jeremie Kubicek, CEO and Co-founder of GiANT Worldwide, bestselling author ofMaking Your Leadership Come Alive and 5 Gears,

and former CEO of Catalyst Conferences and Leadercast

 

“An indispensable road map to life for Millennials, Paul Sohn's book provides a steady rudder for navigating a quarter-life crisis. This book is like The Purpose Driven Life for Millennials. An indispensable partner for the journey.” 

—    Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO of the Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute

“What is your calling? While Christian discussions of faith, work, and vocation have grown exponentially in recent years, the books and articles have consistently excluded focused attention on millennials—until now. Written for Millennials by a Millennial, Paul Sohn offers us a careful reading and response to a generation that we deeply need to consider.”

 

“Matthew Kaemingk, Cascade Fellows Program for Faith, Work, and Calling “This book ispacked with wisdom, practical exercises, and actionable advice to help you design the life you were meant to have. I will be buying a case to give to friends hitting their twenties because it offers a shortcut to a meaningful, successful life.”

—Skip Prichard, CEO of OCLC, leadership insights blogger

 

“QUARTER-LIFE CALLING provides a raw and refreshing honesty into the realities of ambitious individuals of any age. Fortunately, Paul compressed a midlife crisis into the first 25 years instead of his first four or more decades. Importantly, he’s reaching out to his generation to help them save fifteen years or more of hollow ‘happiness’ in exchange for a joy-filled life found in bringing expression to one’s purpose and living into one’s calling.”

—Kevin W. McCarthy, author of The On-Purpose Person and The On-Purpose Business Person

“With experience and wisdom well beyond his years, Paul Sohn is uniquely positioned to deliver an important message at a critical time. QUARTER-LIFE CALLING is a timely book for a generation that is restless to find purpose and meaning. With the voice of a friend but the authority of a mentor, Paul encourages twentysomethings to not settle for the status quo but to find resonance in the sweet spot of your calling.”

—Jenni Catron, leadership coach and author of The 4 Dimensions of Extraordinary Leadership

“I often say that success in your twenties is more about setting the table than enjoying the feast. With wisdom, insight, and vulnerability, Paul Sohn’s new book guides twentysomethings on how to ‘set their tables’ to experience a life full of purposeful and meaningful success. Instead of asking, ‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’ Paul Sohn helps readers ask, ‘Who do you want to be and why?’ If you’re on a journey for clarity, identity, and purpose, please take this book with you.”

—Paul Angone, author of 101 Secrets For Your Twenties and All Groan Up

“This is a book for Millennials who want to break free from the rat race—for those who believe they were created for something more. Paul Sohn speaks volumes to twentysomethings, giving them influential, real-world advice for how to find your calling.”

—Brad Lomenick, former president of Catalyst and author of H3 Leadership

“Paul Sohn has a clear understanding of how to challenge the reader to discover the true meaning of life. QUARTER-LIFE CALLING is a profoundly helpful and insightful text that all young professionals must take in and devour. With outstanding honesty through his personal testimony, pinpointing the truth and reality of modern society, Paul dives into key elements of discovering our sweet spot and inspiring us to find the calling in the world that we live in all for the glory of God.”

—Daniel Park, senior pastor, New Song Church

“Paul’s book is one I wish I’d had coming out of college. It’s so level-headed, practical and lays out such a clear process for thinking through your God-given calling. In my early twenties, I had no idea what I was called or gifted to do. I didn’t really know what ‘called’ or ‘gifted’ even meant. I didn’t understand vocation or purpose. Work was something I did because I needed to. Paul methodically and invitingly sorts all that out. Whether someone is an A-type driven worker or a meandering creative type, QUARTER-LIFE CALLING will be a significant asset to them.”

—Barnabas Piper, author of Help My Unbelief and cohost of 5 Leadership Questions

“Paul Sohn’s QUARTER-LIFE CALLING is the right message at the right time. For young people, it’s the right message for those seeking a life of significance, because this book points right to the center of God’s plan. And it comes at the right time—when young people are making decisions about career and family, many of which will set the trajectory of their life for decades to come. However, what is most powerful about QUARTER-LIFE CALLING is this: Paul is living out this message and helping others to do the same. And that is the best truth of all—tested and tried…and transformational.”

—Marc Fey, author of The 2:10 Project

“Paul Sohn is accomplished beyond most his age. His new book, QUARTER-LIFE CALLING, is a playbook on how to get a grip and live your life with passion and purpose. While the title targets twentysomethings, I believe the truth in this book is relevant for anyone who is wrestling with questions of identity, destiny, or legacy. Whatever season of life you are in, there is great wisdom here for you.

—Tami Heim, president and CEO of Christian Leadership Alliance

“You don’t want to wait until your midlife crisis to think through important questions of calling and career! Read this book to fully embrace your calling and work from your sweet spot.”

—Peter Greer, president & CEO HOPE International and coauthor of 40/40 Vision and Mission Drift

 

“More than any other leader I know, Paul has thought deeply about the importance of young leaders considering the idea of a quarter-life calling. Paul practices an intentionality that shines through in his passion for empowering young leaders.”

—Ben Sand, CEO of Portland Leadership Foundation
