Publisher's Notes
"At some point everyone confronts the question: How do I find and fulfill the central purpose of my life?" Author Os Guinness believes that we all desire to make a difference, leave a legacy, and know that we are fulfilling the purpose for which we were created. An Oxford scholar and critical thinker with an international following, Guinness offers in this book much more than an academic or theoretical exercise, he shares his personal saga of calling in a style readers of all ages will easily comprehend. Answering the call of our creator is "the ultimate why" for living -- the highest source of purpose in human existence. Apart from such a calling, all hope of discovering purpose will always end in disappointment. The Calling will inspire readers to live a life of focus, gratitude, humility and vision.

I Long for You, O God
by Michael Youssef
In just thirty-one days, you can experience the peace, contentment, and rest that your soul craves. All of us struggle with a lack of contentment–comparing our circumstances with the lives of others and feeling like we’ve been shortchanged. We tire of life’s difficulties and long to escape, but nothing we do seems to help. Instead, we only feel more trapped. However, as we go through life with a nagging sense of dissatisfaction, there is a ray of hope. Our lack of contentment can push us to the end of ourselves and into God’s grace-filled embrace, delivering us from fear, worry, anger, anxiety, and guilt. This easy-to-use daily guide–adapted from Dr. Michael Youssef’s book Divine Discontent –points the way to the peace and contentment that God desires for you. Each day’s reading, rich in Scripture and prayer, will help you experience the rest and restoration you long for. In just thirty-one days, you can find contentment in God.
