Ready or Not: Following God's Call in Jonah and Ruth, is a study about God's "call" on our lives as Christians. But what does a calling look like? Who gets to experience a calling and what do we mean when we speak of a calling? We tend to think calling is something special, reserved for missionaries, pastors, Moses, and Billy Graham-not for ordinary folks like us.... However, as surprising as it may be, God does have a call for each of us. Every Christian is an integral part of the Body of Christ and an important participant in what God is doing here on earth.
