Was
I made for a purpose? Am I ever going to do anything meaningful with my life?
Or am I just some cosmic accident? These are important questions, asked by so
many of us, especially during the lows of life. Deep down, we all crave to
understand our purpose and to know that we are loved.
"Called"
is delightfully reassuring answer to the question of purpose. With modest
humour and genuine honesty, Jonny explores just how we can accept and appropriately
respond to the unconditional and eternal love of God; how, as we embrace this
divine love, we discover that God has a unique purpose for each of us. And more
amazingly how, when we start acting upon God's call, as we become more closely
connected with our Saviour, we will feel more purposeful, more meaningful and
more fulfilled.
Jonny
uses the life journeys of various characters from the Bible and their
individual stories of calling to show us how understanding and accepting God's
call can provide direction, purpose and fulfilment in life. Each chapter
explores a different aspect of calling; the struggle to accept God's call on
our lives, the unhesitating acceptance of some, the stubborn refusal of others
and the miraculous fruit that is produced when we submit to God.
No
matter how insignificant you consider yourself to be, if you are drifting,
feeling lost in your Christian life, "Called" is just what you need: a
helpful and considered guide to uncovering God's plan for you, and how to act
when things feel unclear.
