Rising to the Call is an excellent summary of Os Guinness' book The Call. This book explores some of the pitfalls many people fall into when thinking about their calling, and provides clarification on what it means to be called or have a calling. Rising to the Call does not lay out a formula for discovering your one calling, but provides guidance for you to determine whether or not you are living out your calling. This is an excellent gift for graduates or those wondering about their place in life.
