When people say, "God has called me," do they know what that really mean? When this book was originally conceived in the heart and mind of the author, it was for those who felt "called" to become a pastor. But as it was being written, Pastor Preston realized what he had always known and believed--that the calling of God into any type of ministry is a very serious matter and is not for the weak in heart or for the uncommitted. The reality of the words of Jesus are still true today: "Many are called, but few are chosen."
Pastor Preston highlights in each chapter the highs and lows of that calling, covering more than forty years of pastoral ministry in the spiritual trenches. His desire is that anyone feeling the call of God on their life into any type of ministry will come away with the answer concerning the call of God. One ought to go boldly for it because when God calls, He also equips and sustains.
The Lord will walk with you every step of the way until He makes that one final call home. It will be there where we will hear those long-awaited words from the Master Himself: "Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
