I was speaking to a reading group recently--at the ungodly hour of seven in the morning--about my journey to Oxford in pursuit of a calling and my book, Called. After my talk, I was asked who I like to read on the topic of calling.
'Called' Excerpt: Faith Like Fireworks
The fine folks at Jesus' Economy, a non-profit dedicated to creating jobs and churches in the developing world, have been kind enough to share an excerpt from my new book, Called: My Journey on C. S. Lewis's House and Back Again (Feb 2015, Leafwood Publishers). Check it out over at the Jesus' Economy blog.
This particular excerpt is a story about fireworks, leaving everything to pursue a calling, and the kind of stories that move us so much we have tell others. It's one of my favorite scenes from Called. I hope you enjoy it.
Oh, and stay tuned. I'll be posting a free download of the Introduction and first chapter from Called right here next week!
