Called to love
Book Description
For those navigating the sacred journey of ministry, Raymond Tomkinson offers profound insights into one of faith's most essential questions: how do we discern God's calling in our lives? "Called to Love" addresses the universal Christian experience of seeking divine guidance while making pivotal decisions about service and spiritual direction.
Tomkinson recognizes that life unfolds through countless transitions, each requiring faithful choices that draw us closer to Christlikeness. While this spiritual challenge touches every believer, he focuses particularly on those called to ordained ministry and those contemplating such a path. The book explores the delicate art of discernment, examining how we recognize and respond to God's will as we determine our next steps in serving both the divine and our communities.
At the center of this exploration lies love itself. Tomkinson grapples with how love can best be served through our choices and whether the freedom that love provides allows both individuals and the Church to embrace various decision-making approaches. He thoughtfully considers what organizational wisdom might offer to spiritual discernment processes.
Perhaps most valuably, the author addresses the challenge of articulating those deep, often wordless stirrings of the heart to others. Through this examination of vocation, discernment, and pastoral care, "Called to Love" provides essential guidance for anyone seeking to align their life choices with their deepest spiritual calling.
