The difference between going into the ministry at the age of 20 or 30, rather than 40 or 50, might simply be that someone asked sooner rather than later, 'Have you thought of being ordained?' Especially when we are young, it is easy to feel that we might be inadequate for the job, but the Bible is encouragingly littered with stories of individuals who didn't feel up to what God called them to be! Hearing the Call stresses that our very humanness, our sense of inadequacy, can be a gift in ministry and allow God's grace to flow.

Gordon Mursell's wise reflections on several relevant biblical passages wonderfully complement Jonathan Lawson's vivid recounting of his wide experience of young vocations. He illustrates this with real-life stories from young people he has counselled and encouraged.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    For anyone thinking about ordination this is the book to read! Primarily written for younger Anglican potential ordinands it would be helpful for anyone considering whether or not they have a call from God to seek ordained ministry as their vocation, whatever their Christian tradition. Many of us us in ordained ministry came because someone asked us if we had thought about it or if we thought God was caling us to it. We also felt totally inadequate to the task. This book is so helpful because it stresses that our human frailty and inadequacy are the very things which God uses to allow his grace to flow to his people and their communities. Jonathon Lawson looks at some relevant Bible passages and links them to the real-life experiences of some young people he has counselled and advised. Alongside this, Gordon Mursell has some very thoughtful reflections on the Bible passages which complement Lawson. Thinking about the possibility of ordination? Read this book!
