Hearing God's Call: Ways of Discernment for Laity and Clergy

This book should be in every believer's library! The author has done a thorough job of demonstrating the diverse modes of hearing one's call. I was also impressed about how he took the various individuals' stories and showed how important it is to understand that one's calling does not necessarily follow a linear path. Additionally, he explained that following one's call is usually progressive and may emerge in tandem over a uncertain span of time. Carol G.

Book

needed for my class; did not know that such a book could exist; it is helpful; with short questions to ponder so that one can discern God's call

Ben Campbell Johnson's book are hard to find, so I was excited to receive this book. I will treasure it since I respect the author.

For any Christian seeking better discernment for God's call in their life ... this is a MUST READ!

If you are in discern about what God is calling you to do, read this book first. Because it is so well written, it is an easy and quick read. I found the book through Amazon after searching for other similar literature.

This is a generous book by the author written to help seekers hear their calling from God. He relates the stories of many people whom he encountered and spoke with about their life's ministry. Most of the stories were church related and helping people in difficult circumstances. I am an artist/writer so I wondered how and where I fit into all of this 'service' but the questions and the stories were engaging. The voice of the author is sympathetic. At the same time I read a book called 'Mother Teresa's Prescription' which complemented this one very well. Best of luck to anyone who reads this book!
