In a day when most North American Christians would quickly agree that all Christians are called to ministry, why do so few know what God is calling them to do? The authors believe that several paralyzing myths, false beliefs about ministry that are on the loose in North American churches, are largely to blame. This book takes on six such myths to empower the people of your congregation to recognize and say yes to God's call.

While this book can help the individual Christian discover and live out God's call for his or her ministry, it was not written primarily for the individual Christian. Designed for use in classes, small groups, or church retreats, (the included study/action guide has eight interactive sessions) its primary purpose is congregational empowerment. When one-third or more of the adults in a congregation have completed this discovery process, the likely result is a transformation of the culture of the church into one where it is normative for members to know and be fulfilling their personal calls to ministry

Many "lay ministry" resources focus on helping churches do a better job of matching people to the right ministry slots. When There's No Burning Bush proposes a far more radical solution–saying good-bye to slot-filling and program-driven ministry and embracing a call-driven ministry paradigm for the entire congregation.
