More than half report that they really don't get the opportunity in their congregation to do what they do best. People just feel disconnected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaybe it's because those faith communities make unwitting missteps: Pastors ask shy people to be greeters or recruit innately disorganized people to coordinate church events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe problem is simply this: Too many people's talents are going unappreciated. But it doesn't have to be this way. \u003ci\u003eLiving Your Strengths Catholic Edition\u003c\/i\u003e shows readers how to use their innate gifts to enrich their faith communities.

Most importantly, \u003ci\u003eLiving Your Strengths\u003c\/i\u003e helps people discover their true calling. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book includes an access code to take the CliftonStrengths assessment (formerly called Clifton StrengthsFinder) that reveals a reader's top five talent themes.
