    About this audiobook

    Why am I here? What is God's call in my life? How do I fit God's call with my own individuality? How should God's calling affect my career, my plans for the future, and my concepts of success?

    First published in 1997 by distinguished author and speaker Os Guiness, The Call remains a treasured source of wisdom for those who ask these questions. According to Guinness, "No idea short of God's call can ground and fulfill the truest human desire for purpose and fulfillment."

    In this newly updated and expanded anniversary edition, Guinness explores the truth that God has a specific calling for each one of us and guides a new generation of readers through the journey of hearing and heeding that call. 

    With more than 100,000 copies in print, The Call is for all who desire a purposeful, intentional life of faith.

    • 3/5
      This book is a mixed bag.

      + The audiobook is read by the author, very pleasant to listen to him.

      + Good theology.

      + Contains a lot of very good perspectives and reflections on Christianity.

      + Very good writing skills.

      + Some good discernment.

      - Lots of very bad discernment

      - The Reformation is credited for having reduced antisemitism. This is highly misleading. The same Luther, who is endorsed over and over in the book, expressed in his works anti-Judaistic views, calling for the expulsion of Jews and burning of synagogues. Based upon his teachings, the prevailing view among historians is that his rhetoric contributed significantly to the development
      of antisemitism in Germany and of the N**i Party.

      - He endorses over and over Augustine, one of the most problematic figures in Christian history, being the doctor of the RCC and the patriarch of Calvinism, and of countless heresies that came into the church through and shortly after him, only to mention the Apocrypha, infant baptism, financial tithing, sex being evil, perpetual virginity of Mary, prayers to saints, the 7 Catholic sacraments, amillennialism, .... He was also the father of doctrine of persecution.

      - He endorses the highly problematic writer C.S. Lewis and draws a lot of inspiration and actual content from him.

      - Scripture quotations are very rare and quotations of other authors and personalities by far overshadow the Bible.

      - He stated that 1/2 of world's population follow the great abrahamic faith. This is a disastrous statement, especially since he repeats it twice in similar form. Some of those abrahamic religions are distortions of it and they are surely not great, but pure evil.
