    Do You Feel Called by God?

    Product Description

    Michael Bennett challenges the misconception that, to go into full time ministry you have to able to ‘prove’ a clear calling from God. He argues that often such a call is subjective to the ‘called’ and is unbiblical anyway. A reassurance to anyone puzzled over whether or not the ministry is calling them, the author draws on his own first steps towards ordained Christian ministry.

    With honest openness he recalls the dread of being asked whether he 'felt called' because, as he reveals, he didn't. Only years later, after deep biblical research, did he feel comfortable that the common idea of needing to feel a subjective call from God before entering the ministry is misguided and unbiblical.

    In 'Do You Feel Called by God?' Micahel shares his story, including the evidence that changed his mind. Full of humour, personal biography and clear biblical teaching, he provides an encouraging challenge not only to those considering full-time ministry, but also to all Christians who want to hear and respond to the call of God.

    Why I Wrote this Book
    1. A Mouse called Spirit
    2. "I feel God is calling me"
    3. The call of God in the Old Testament
    4. The call of God in the New Testament - Jesus and the apostles
    5. The usage of 'call' in the Greek New Testament
    6. Did God call Hudson Taylor?
    7. "The Lord has told me"
    8. Who should go into the ministry?
    9. Learning the hard way
    10. A human desire
    11. Where from here?

    When Michael Bennett took the first steps towards full-time, ordained Christian ministry, he dreaded being asked whether he 'felt called'. Because in all honesty, he didn't.

    Many years later, and after extensive biblical research, he came to the conclusion that the common idea of needing to feel a subjective call from God before entering the ministry is misguided and unbiblical. Full of wit, personal biography and clear biblical teaching, Do You Feel Called by God? provides an encouraging challenge not only to those considering full-time ministry, but also to all Christians who want to hear and respond to the call of God.
