Called is a refreshingly honest and humorous deep dive into God's calling for each one of us. Written by Jonny Gumbel, Rector of Christ Church Rio and author of Loved, Called examines the stories of the characters whom God called in different ways, humanising them and giving us encouragement that we too can take up God's call on our lives.

Knowing the love of God changes absolutely everything You are loved. It is the single most important thing about you. It is the answer to the deepest longing of every heart, with the potential to change life in every possible way. But what does it really mean to be loved . . . loved by God? And can we truly know it, begin to comprehend it? What difference does it make to our lives? With warmth, wit, and a great depth of wisdom, Jonny Gumbel explores the nature and meaning of this divine love. Drawing on the apostle Paul's epistle to the Romans, he guides us through the letter, highlighting the theme of love and showing how truly powerful it is, bringing joy, authenticity, unity, and purpose, forming the very basis of our identities. Peppered with stories that are marked by the author's self-deprecating humor, it encompasses everything from politics to family life and each illustration is packed with insight. Coming at a time when many of us feel battered and bruised by the uncertainties of life, this compelling book brims with affirmation and hope as it invites us to delve into (or perhaps rediscover) the greatest love story ever told.
