"Is God Calling Me?" That is the foundational question that must be asked by anyone considering entry into the field of ministry leadership.Seminary president Jeff Iorg collects his personally field-tested insights that have helped many students to clarify their understanding of "call" in Is God Calling Me?

“Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people.” – Colossians 3:23 Every believer has a calling from God. We are all called to salvation, to service, and to surrender. Discerning and pursuing God’s call in your life becomes the work of a lifetime. Biblically insightful, theologically faithful, and practically helpful, Answering God’s Call will draw readers into a deeper understanding of God’s will for their lives.

It is never too late, nor can you ever get so far from God that He will not accept you. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). He is standing at the door and asking all of us to knock. He said if any man, woman, boy or girl has a voice, they should call out to him and He will answer. Salvation is for everyone! If we have but a little faith, He can work wonders for the lost. We cannot wait for a time we think we are worthy enough to approach God—we'd be waiting a life time! Jesus said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-31). In "When God Calls, You Will Answer," George Ross encourages you to come and receive the saving grace that only Jesus can provide. Jesus has already completed the redemptive work for you. All you have to do is surrender to Him. Jesus taught us how to live in God's grace. Grace is an unmerited, free gift from the throne room of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah was called by God in his young life to a daunting and pivotal task. Nevertheless, God prepared him for ministry in the first nineteen verses of his book. In this forty-day journey, author John A. Coaxum dissects Jeremiah chapter one verse by verse to reveal what the calling of God really is and is not. Many dash into ministry hastily and end up disillusioned and disappointed because of expectations God never promised and sacrifices they were never ready to make. This book is a practical guide for anyone who senses God calling them to serve and what they should know before they answer.

Whom do we trust? Ourselves, and our instincts? As most (if not all) of us have learned from experience, that’s not very secure, nor very wise. Do we then trust our spouses? Our friends? Our co-workers? As good as these are or may be, we have all no doubt been “burned” by following the advice of others, and that makes us leery of trusting others. There is One whom we can trust, and that is God. There is one Book that provides sound advice, and that is the Bible. Edgar Nazario has done it again. He has brought us, through stories, explanations, exhortations, and piercing questions, to understanding a little clearer just who God is.
