Called : God's purpose for your life and how it changes absolutely everything

Called is a refreshingly honest and humorous deep dive into God's calling for each one of us. Written by Jonny Gumbel, Rector of Christ Church Rio and author of Loved, Called examines the stories of the characters whom God called in different ways, humanising them and giving us encouragement that we too can take up God's call on our lives.

WasI 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 somany of us, especially during the lows of life. Deep down, we all crave tounderstand our purpose and to know that we are loved. "Called"is delightfully reassuring answer to the question of purpose. With modesthumour and genuine honesty, Jonny explores just how we can accept and appropriatelyrespond to the unconditional and eternal love of God; how, as we embrace thisdivine love, we discover that God has a unique purpose for each of us. And moreamazingly how, when we start acting upon God’s call, as we become more closelyconnected with our Saviour, we will feel more purposeful, more meaningful andmore fulfilled. Jonnyuses the life journeys of various characters from the Bible and theirindividual stories of calling to show us how understanding and accepting God'scall can provide direction, purpose and fulfilment in life. Each chapterexplores a different aspect of calling; the struggle to accept God’s call onour lives, the unhesitating acceptance of some, the stubborn refusal of othersand the miraculous fruit that is produced when we submit to God. Nomatter how insignificant you consider yourself to be, if you are drifting,feeling lost in your Christian life, "Called" is just what you need: ahelpful and considered guide to uncovering God's plan for you, and how to actwhen things feel unclear.
