Download or read book Calling written by Caroline A. Westerhoff and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2004-02-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author begins her exploration of the Christian life with the memory of childhood afternoons spent rocking in green wicker chairs on her grandmother's front porch, listening to the stories of women who came to call. The image of calling as baptismal vocation, the sharing of time and conversation, the vision that informs our choices and actions is vividly described through Westerhoff's stories drawn from her life and work. Narratives of what it means to live as a Christian provide the variations on the baptismal themes of ministry, community, and responsibility in this "song for the baptized."
Download or read book A Noble Calling written by David W. Whitlock and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often, individuals who have been called to practice their gifts and talents in the field of business and professional life sense that to serve God they ought to be doing something more directly involved with the church. Many successful business leaders, upon coming to faith in Christ or upon renewing their interest in God's Word, struggle with whether or not they should enter vocational ministry. Certainly, God calls some from among the professions into such vocations, but many simply haven't realized the full potential of where God has placed them. God's people who are assigned to duties in corporate boardrooms or offices, on sales forces, in entrepreneurial ventures, and as members of research and development teams are among his most effective servants. Believers who are active in the marketplace are surely among God's most treasured ministers and have the potential to have a wider impact and larger influence than most who serve in full-time vocational ministries. Likewise, these professionals have a capacity for great harm to the church and the cause of Christ if while they make claims of Christian belief, their actions prove inconsistent with what God's Word teaches--if their walk doesn't match their talk. Be encouraged! God wants to use you where you are. He wants to sanctify all of what you have learned and experienced. You have great potential in the kingdom!

Download or read book The Calling from God written by Dr. Lowell Hardy and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Calling from God shares an in-depth analysis of various callings to individuals to preach from a biblical standpoint. It comes in unique ways for each individual. So the exact nature of the calling from God is difficult, at best, to describe, for it does not lend itself to any private interpretation, especially to someone not privy to the calling. Within the text, the reader will learn about the struggles of various people with God and within themselves. All experiences are coercing, demanding, and cajoling for sure. However, the one called has to determine within oneself what Gods will is for him/herself. The Calling from God will serve as a guide to those seeking answers about their possible destiny. The book takes the approach that many are called, but only a few answer because of uncertainty. The book will help one decide what to do based on their life-changing experiences with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. The ones called must make sure of their calling, for there is much to do since the harvest is great. This book shows in detail some of the preparation needed as one grows in service to the calling from God. All Christians are called by God the Father to be witnesses of his resurrection power by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. For sure, a call in any form lays a heavenly claim upon the one called. This book helps one understand the calling from God and will help one reach a sound decision based on their life and experiences in comparison to selected biblical callings. The Calling from God will serve a reference manual and a valuable source of information for anyone thinking about answering or has answered the call from God. The decision to serve is very personal, as you will learn from the book The Calling from God and many biblical examples. If you are struggling with the decision to serve or not to serve, this book is for you. You will know after reading The Calling from God if you are one of the few chosen to serve and trust Gods wisdom in leading you to point others to the uplifted Christ. Will you answer the call from God? The alternative is to wrestle with the Spirit, as conviction works slowly and agonizingly in the soul. This book is a must read.

Download or read book Broadsword Calling Danny Boy written by Geoff Dyer and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Zona, Geoff Dyer—‘one of our most original writers’ (New York)—devoted a whole book to Andrei Tarkovsky’s cult masterpiece, Stalker. Now, in this warm and funny tribute to one of his favorite movies, he revisits the action classic Where Eagles Dare. A thrilling Alpine adventure headlined by a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a dynamically lethargic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. ‘Broadsword Calling Danny Boy’ is Dyer’s hilarious tribute to a film he has loved since childhood: it’s a scene-by-scene analysis—or should that be send-up?—taking us from the movie’s snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax.
Download or read book Narrative Calling and Missional Identity in 1 Peter written by David Shaw and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story well-told and subsequently imbibed by its recipients has the power to shape one’s beliefs, identity, and way of life. So, what happens when a person or community is swept up in such a story? In this study, Shaw draws upon the dual methodologies of Narrative Transportation and Social Identity theories to consider how 1 Peter’s use of Old Testament narratives and καλέω language serves to ‘transport’ it’s recipients into an identity defined as ‘elect sojourners’. Amidst suffering, 1 Peter ‘calls’ the Anatolian believers to a priestly ministry, blessing their antagonists as they await their eternal glory in Christ.

We are all bombarded by calls, yet I realize that we cannot exist without them. This books chronology of the variety of calls speaks to one specific callthe call to salvation. Many from different lifestyles, social status, and points of view responded to this call and experienced a rewarding and complete life in service to God. The path to this enriched life was not easy for the many that chose to accept the call. Persecution, imprisonment, beatings, and other atrocities are documented and outlined between the covers of this book. Yet irrespective of the obstacles, perseverance and victory won the day. From a biblical perspective, God began the call in the book of Genesis. Through his divine foreknowledge, he knew what mans response would be, yet he still made the call.
