Cats Don't Bark

Celebrated author and speaker Shane Hipps offers readers a step-by-step guide to discovering God’s purpose for their lives, helping them discover and remain true to their ‘calling’ while harnessing their full professional, personal, and spiritual potential.

Everyone in the world is searching for purpose and meaning in their lives. Shane Hipps is here to teach us how to fully understand who we are as individuals, and then to pursue who God intended us to be.

Cats Don’t Bark is a guided tour of how to discover - and more importantly, pursue - God’s intention for our lives. Hipps is an expert at pursuing purpose and remaining true to God’s plan in his own life: after a “Damascus” experience of personal discovery, Hipps left his high profile position as a strategic advertising planner for Porsche to attend seminary, become a Mennonite pastor, later the lead teaching pastor at Mars Hill Bible Church to, now, sought-after author and speaker. With his trademark insight and engaging approach, Hipps draws on his own unconventional experience to demonstrate how readers can discover their own ‘calling’ - the techniques required to listen for it, the cost when you ignore it, and the rewards when you follow it.

This is a book about discovering who we are, accepting who we are not, and cultivating the habits we need to discover and embrace who we were meant to be.
