Customer Reviews

For those who are searching
Rising to the Call is an excellent summary of Os Guinness' book The Call. This book explores some of the pitfalls many people fall into when thinking about their calling, and provides clarification on what it means to be called or have a calling. Rising to the Call does not lay out a formula for discovering your one calling, but provides guidance for you to determine whether or not you are living out your calling. This is an excellent gift for graduates or those wondering about their place in life.

More about what is wrong than what is right
Rising to the Call is about finding the call that God has for your life. Author Os Guiness states that only when we are connected with our creator are we able to truly find our "call".

I wasn't overly impressed with this book. Most of the book talks about what is wrong with the other techniques used for finding your meaning in life. This really doesn't do anything for the reader who is actually trying to find their call.

I also wasn't impressed with the writing style as it doesn't do a good job of breaking down complex topics. You probably are best not picking this one up.... pick up "What Color Is Your Parachute" instead. 2 out of 5 stars.
