"It has often been said that there are three requirements required for a fulfilling life: a clear sense of personal identity, a deep sense of life's meaning and a strong sense of purpose and mission. Colin's powerful little book speaks to all three. This is a book that all new believers {and old one's for that matter} would benefit greatly from reading. Too many of us have stumbled on the truths outlined in the book much later in our lives and often taught to us by virtue of bitter experiences when, had we been in possession of a book like this, we might have come to grasp them much earlier, and perhaps, much easier. The book does not profess to offer an exact 'roadmap' {beware those that do!} and yet it nonetheless is packed with wisdom and insight as to how God fashions a man or woman of God. I found it illuminating and encouraging and I'm sure you will too. -Don Barry Pastor Shore Vineyard, Auckland, NZ and Principal Vineyard Bible College Senior Leader, Gateway Church, Hamilton, New Zealand The gap between a glib, ""God loves you and has a great plan for your life"" and personally discovering both that love, and that plan can actually be a chasm. In Understanding God's Call, Colin Shilston goes deep into the 'calls' of scripture to discover what God's call actually is, what it looks and feels like, and how to discern it for yourself. In doing so, Colin is both scholarly and human, and certainly never glib, in providing a foundation for the seeker to go deeper into the journey of discovering God's call. This book won't give you all the answers, and doesn't try to, but it may well inspire you on the journey of discovering the answers for yourself. -Vic Francis"
