God Called - He Needs Your Decision (Paperback or Softback)

Serious Disciples of Jesus should read God Called - He Needs Your Decision!

Webb, Bestselling Author of The Master's Quilt God Called was written specifically for mature Christians who feel they have not really heard the Lord speak to them. These Christians truly want to hear the voice of God calling to them with an offer to serve in a capacity that is outside of their expectations. Review these questions, and one of which might be holding you back from hearing God's plan for your life: - Jesus says disciples need to carry their cross and follow Him. Can you do that? - Jesus said that disciples must hate mother and father (compared to Him) Is that you? - Jesus said that disciples must obey what he has commanded. Do you? - Jesus said that disciples must give up everything. Are you prepared to do so? - Dallas Willard says "very few Christians want to hear what God has to say. Do you? Here's a sample of the impactful words from God Called that have encouraged readers to take their Christianity to the next level: Our Christian walk is always about how much we trust and believe, and whether we trust God enough to put aside our fear. Each stage of our maturing in Christ depends on our ability to repent of our unbelief, or pride, our idols, and move to the next stage. This is true from our first profession of faith, when we start each new discipline, and when we become aware of the depths of our sin and mindful of our need to be continually repenting. It is true when we become willing to be completely dependent on and open with God-intimate with Him. Then we must repent of our unbelief again if we are to fully surrender to a calling.

Over the past 35 years I have written a number of books about business. They were easy to write and very easy to sell. Almost every one of them was successful (note to self: Never include the word recession in a book title.)

When I felt compelled to write a book about surrender, hearing God's call, and a willingness to be used by God, I thought the process would be the same as before. In fact, this short little book was harder to write than any of the others.

While I have read and studied the Bible and read and listened to thousands of hours of material about the Bible, I am not a trained theologian. However, I knew as I wrote this book that ever word would be subject to the scrutiny of those who were thus trained. The process of writing and editing was painstaking, and as of this date no one has quarreled with any theological statement in the book.

Since I had no interest in making a profit on this book, I decide to self publish and keep the cost so low that no one would need to think twice about buying it. As a marketer by profession, I figured I could get the book out there. Sadly, sales have been underwhelming. However, as I sit here in June of 2016, my intent is to restart the marketing engine. I hope you will be among those who buy the book. My email is listed in the book, and I'd love to hear from you about your take. Please also review it, good or bad. Thanks so much.
