Product Description

Facet by facet this internationally acclaimed Christian thinker examines life and the universal search for its meaning. What is "the call"? Far bigger than our jobs, deeper than our personal accomplishments, higher than our wildest ideas of self-fulfillment, our "calling" addresses the very essence of our existence. Discovering it in times past has changed whole nations and cultures. It could do the same to ours. A classic reflective work in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and Oswald Chambers,now ready to challenge the latest generation of high school and college graduates.

Rising to the Call is an excellent summary of Os Guinness' book The Call. This book explores some of the pitfalls many people fall into when thinking about their calling, and provides clarification on what it means to be called or have a calling. Rising to the Call does not lay out a formula for discovering your one calling, but provides guidance for you to determine whether or not you are living out your calling. This is an excellent gift for graduates or those wondering about their place in life.

Rising to the Call is about finding the call that God has for your life. Author Os Guiness states that only when we are connected with our creator are we able to truly find our "call".

I wasn't overly impressed with this book. Most of the book talks about what is wrong with the other techniques used for finding your meaning in life. This really doesn't do anything for the reader who is actually trying to find their call.

I also wasn't impressed with the writing style as it doesn't do a good job of breaking down complex topics. You probably are best not picking this one up.... pick up "What Color Is Your Parachute" instead. 2 out of 5 stars.
