All of us have heard the passionate pleas of pastors and evangelists for those sitting in the pews to listen to God's call. And that call always seems to be to the mission field or to benevolence work in our own country or ministry positions in the church.
Rarely, if ever, have we heard a pastor urge us to seek our call in the secular marketplace, or to impact the world by raising good children. But that's exactly what Bob Reccord and Randy Singer are doing in this revolutionary book. Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention's North American Mission Board, Reccord and Singer reveal how God calls people to the most surprising places and unlikely professions for the purpose of changing our world.
"This captivating book will challenge your thinking on the call of God, help you discover the purpose for your life, and motivate you with stories of those used by God to make a difference."--Bill Bright

Made to Count
Starting books is hard. So we sought some sage advice. Authors and editors, publishers and readers-they all told us basically the same thing: Start with something that draws the reader's attention, something unpredictable, something that makes a big stink.
"Are you sure?"
"Yep, we're sure."
Okay, you asked for it:
Andy was building a new home. As often happens, his construction crew was having an awful time with their subcontractors, suppliers, and schedule. Nothing was going right, the boss was frustrated, and the men were grouchy. The weather was hot and humid, smothering the men like a wet blanket. To add to the misery, the construction site's port-a-john reeked with odors that made the crew gag. The company that was charged with keeping it serviced hadn't been heard from for days.
Suddenly, blaring music pounded the air as a truck rolled down the street toward the site. The music seemed to fill the block with its rock beat, and everybody's attention shifted to the vehicle that slid to a stop in front of the partially completed house. They noticed that it wasn't the regular maintenance man who got out of the truck. Instead, it was a big, burly guy, covered with tattoos, flashing a huge smile, and singing at the top of his lungs. He greeted the entire crew with a contagious grin, grabbed his materials and headed-enthusiastically!-into the odiferous disaster.
