"For some reason, I felt I had to say Yes or No to the ministry so I could feel free again. My siblings and friends talked almost casually about options and preferences as to careers, but with no evident sense of urgency. Not so with me. I did not then, nor do I now know whether the burden of choice was a trait of personality, a kind of super-conscientiousness, whether the calling to ministry itself carried a weight, a burden, peculiar to the task itself. Rightly or wrongly, when I thought of possibly becoming a journalist, that would be a choice, 100 percent mine. When I considered becoming a minister, that was not totally my decision; I was responding to Gods will for me. Of course, I had been told that journalists, lawyers, teachers, merchants, farmers-all could understand their lives as a vocation, a calling, but what I am telling you is that I perceived, I felt, I experienced the idea of being a preacher as different, and that difference was sobering, even burdensome. Thats why advice about not being in a hurry, taking my time, was not helpful even if wise. If it was my decision, why could I not make it now; if it was Gods decision, why did not God tell me, or at least tell my father or my mother? I prayed for the ache to leave me." -Excerpt from Reflections on My Call to Preach.</p>...4349606Reflections on My Call to Preach279387https://www.gandhi.com.mx/reflections-on-my-call-to-preach-9780827232808/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4245349/e8af33dd-41d6-4df2-8b72-53d7a9f330cb.jpg?v=638446550215930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook9780827232808_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9780827232808_<p>Travel with revered preacher and author Fred Craddock through his early years as he considers what made him take to the pulpit.
