__What is my calling? What is my purpose in life? And how do I pursue it once I know what it is?__  
  
Rich Wilson, in A Call Less Ordinary, aims to help you answer those life changing questions.  
  
Embracing God's calling is not easy, but it is the most fulfilling thing you can do with your life.  
  
And yet, understanding God's call on our lives takes time. It can seem vague, often because we are looking in the wrong places. A Call Less Ordinary will give anyone wrestling with the question of whether or not God has a plan for them a deeper understanding of what it means to find your purpose in life. It will challenge and guide you to find new ways of using your passions for God, and give you encouragement and hope to embrace your calling and live a meaningful life.  
  
When Rich Wilson felt God calling him into student ministry, he had no idea what challenges, frustrations, hopes and aspirations would await him as he became movement leader of Fusion - a movement that equips students for Christian mission. In refusing to sugar coat some of life's darkest days, his storytelling and writing illuminates how the call and grace of God reaches deeper into our lives than we often dare to embrace. By drawing on both his story and the stories of other ordinary people following an extraordinary God, he offers guidance and advice for discovering our own calling, and finding ways to pursue it through adventure and adversity.  
  
A Call Less Ordinary is both practical and provocative, leaving you energised and expectant for how God is working now and for your future.  
  
Could it be that God is both calling and leading you into greater freedom and fulfilment today?
