About this audiobook
Few spiritual concepts have fascinated and confused people more than understanding God's calling for their life. Is it primarily about a job or a role? Is it precise or general? Is a calling only reserved for those who work in professional ministry? The truth is actually amazingly profound: What we are supposed to do is what we most want to do. This is a guide for discovering God's design and destiny for your life. Drawing from over 20 years of experience in ministry, Gary Barkalow shares how you can: live alert and oriented to the voice and choreography of God, discover and interpret the voice of your own story, discern the strategic assault against your calling, and recognize God's intentional training in your life's journey. Most of all, you'll be inspired to let the glory of your life touch the world around you.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A Christian guide to following your call (or vocation) rather than just doing your job, Gary Barkalow’s It’s Your Call is an easy read, with short simple chapters, lots of memorable phrases, and an open, honest depiction of the author’s own journey through several callings. There are no recipes to finding your purpose (more often referred to by the author as glory), and there are no easy measures offered for the reader to evaluate or choose a path. But there’s plenty of sensible wisdom, together with inspiring Biblical knowledge, and I’m glad I was given the chance to read this book.Reading the book is rather like a series of lectures from the author, with appropriate digressions, personal anecdotes, food for thought, and strong encouragement. For an artist (author, musician, etc), the book offers a convincing sense that pursuing our dreams is God’s desire for us, even if we may not be humanly successful. But there’s also the hint that glory will follow that honest pursuit.My favorite reminder in this book is that God is always interested in me, wherever I am on my journey. My least favorite part lies in the fact that my achievements are so small compared to the author's… and that I lack influential connections. This probably tells you more about me than the author or the book. Perhaps it means I need to put into action more of the ideas in the book, paying better attention to my relationship with God.Disclosure: A friend loaned me the book because she likes it so much.
