Great Book, Great Price! Os Guinness' Rising to the Call

Currently reading Os Guinness’ book, Rising to the Call: Discover the Ultimate Purpose of Your Life. I’ll be adding a “book review” once I’m done. And of course, if you've read this book, I'd love to hear your feedback on this book as well!

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. books quotes ideas to inspire!

Quote to Ponder

"Patience is the art of concealing your impatience." - Guy Kawasaki

There is a lot of truth in this quote. The idea behind might just be based on maturity and self-discipline. I generally want to get things done, and get them done quickly. But, I have learned that I can’t show that impatience outwardly because those I lead are looking for stability. One good thing though… patience has become a key part of my toolkit lately and is much easier to come by than it used to be. books quotes ideas to inspire!

An Article to Read: “Proclaiming the Gospel to a Secular Society.”

Here’s and excerpt: “Paul could not simply be a sightseer when there was such spiritual need. He was in Athens as a soul-winner. The Great Commission is to proclaim the gospel to non-Christians who are listening and the paganism of the Athenian people led Paul to devise a strategy to proclaim the gospel to all, whether they were in a place of worship or not. We fail if we abandon the streets of our towns and cities to the cults.” books quotes ideas to inspire!
