Christian Living
“K. Bradley Watson is a captivating storyteller. Using imagery of travelling a path, he invites readers into a life-giving journey of attentiveness to God, others, creation, and oneself. For those willing to walk this path, a meaningful way of life awaits. A Path Called Compelling is a hopeful and engaging book for those exploring the Christian faith for the first time, those with doubts about Christianity, and those with strong Christian roots.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The church needs more resources that helpfully combine social-scientific research, theological reflection, and practical application. This is one such book! All univocational and multivocational church leaders, their spouses (if applicable), and denominational leaders ought to read this work. Readers will discover—and hopefully appreciate—data-driven findings, stories, and experiences of the benefits and manageable challenges associated with multivocational ministry, and a healthier and robust framing for a flourishing multivocational ministry and life.”
