Kurzbeschreibung
Guinness has penned a classic reflective work on life's purpose. Far bigger than jobs and accomplishments and higher than the wildest ideas of self-fulfillment, he claims one's calling does more than give purpose and meaning to life--it completes God's plan .

Einleitungssatz
As you know, I have been very fortunate in my career and I've made a lot of money-far more than I ever dreamed of, far more than I could ever spend, far more than my family needs. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
More than any book I have read on the subject, The Call recognizes the radical nature of Christianity and challenges and inspires readers to not settle for anything less. Mr. Guinness' main influences in thinking and writing on the subject are Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Oswald Chambers, and so this book could also have been titled "The Cost of Discipleship" or "My Utmost for His Highest".
This book does not give trite how-to's on what it means to be a follower of Christ, but rather examines the Biblical mandate to surrender ourselves to God's call in all aspects of our lives: in everything we do, in all that we own, and in who we are, all the time.
Mr. Guinness has obviously spent years thinking about and studying this subject (including prayerfully considering his own call), so the book is written on a very personal level. Mr. Guinness also peppers each chapter with relevant life stories from historical, literary and artistic figures to illustrate his points and show in what ways "the rubber meets the road".
Finally, I appreciate his suggestion to read the book as a devotional - one chapter a day, instead of huge chunks at a time. This ensures enough time for the reader to reflect on the profound points made in each chapter.
When I finished reading this book, I decided I need to read it every few years. This book should be a classic!
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Not that calling is really a mystery, but due to its personal nature, it often seems mysterious to us, and there's no way of saying "I have found my calling." Calling is ongoing and dynamic, an exciting journey on the way home, and Os Guinness manages to convey this excitement and its radical nature with examples out of lives as diverse as human nature. With precise and logical writing he exposes misconceptions and prejudices, thereby liberating the mind and freeing it from all the preconceived notions that so easily entangle the feet of us would-be pilgrims.
Unfortunately, I do not have the mind of Dr. Guinness, and I've already forgotten most of the subtler points, even though I didn't rush my way through the book. However, the reflections in "The Call" are timeless enough to stand repeated reading, and I will certainly return to this thought-provoking and revealing book on many an occasion.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I liked the book overall, and I thought the author had a great deal of insight into one's calling and life's work. However I did not care for the author's writing style. I felt that some salient points in the book could have been made much more clearly, and that the book could do without some of the cryptic, incomplete references to historical British figures. I think the weight of the author's argument in these cases misses the American audience in particular, as the author seems to assume a higher level of familiarity with these characters than most readers possess.
