This short collection of sermons and homilies speaks to anyone who has ever felt the call to ministry. Compiled as a tribute to former Fund for Theological Education president Jim Waits, Awakened to a Calling includes passionate and encouraging words from well-known preachers such as Tom Long, Fred Craddock, Barbara Brown Taylor, and Walter Brueggemann. For those who are in the life-long process of discerning God’s call, reading this book is like having your own private team of mentors guiding and supporting you. Both burgeoning and seasoned ministers would enjoy this book.
