God Still Calls: Discerning God's Direction for Service

God Still Calls offers compelling evidence that God does still call people into ministry today. He continues to call men and women into ministry in a variety of capacities. God's call can look and sound different for different people, and can come at any age, in any stage of life. Mark A. Maddix and Stephen Riley have compiled a group of obedient answerers of the call to share their stories of what God's call sounded like in their own lives, and of what it looked like to respond to His leading. Each story is a unique and inspiring vision of the faithfulness of God. If you are wondering about God's direction for you, this book provides a clear understanding of each of the categories of callings to help you discern your path to service. As you will see, God moves in the lives of people in a variety of ways in order to fulfill his redemptive purpose in the world.
