On Call: Exploring God's Leading to Christian Service by Stuart Buchanan
Nearly two thousand years before the birth of Jesus, the Bible tells of a man called Abram who sensed that God wanted him to leave his home for a different country to carry out a special task. Two thousand years after the birth of Jesus, people are still experiencing a sense of being called to move, to specific types of ministry or to perform particular tasks for God. This text looks at some of the stories of calling found in the Bible, considering what people were actually called to, the one who called them, and the implications for us today. It is designed for everyone exploring a sense of calling to any kind of Christian ministry and also those who help others to discern such a calling. It aims to equip seekers to know what questions they should be asking of themselves, and of the ministry they are exploring.
