Tyler Cole is a retired executive with the Sara Lee Corporation. In 1998 God called him out of the marketplace to prepare him for a new assignment in His army. Tyler spent the first forty years of his life in the wilderness as a non-believer, and the last twenty-six as a servant in His kingdom. The first seven adult years were spent as a linguist in the U.S. Naval Security Group. This was followed by a thirty-five year career that started as an hourly employee in a factory, and ended as an executive in a Fortune 500 company. Tyler has conducted seminars for years helping believers discover their callings, gifts, and places in the kingdom. This unique combination of life experiences bring a "view from the pew" and a fresh perspective for believers. This book is a heartfelt God communique to all those who know that something is missing in their spiritual lives.
