Synopsis

A devotional look at how God draws his followers to himself and how we can learn to listen out for his call today.

Calling cards are personalised cards, which were left in homes to announce that someone had visited. They were a sign that someone had been there and wanted to spend time with them. Emily Owen explores the idea that God has always been leaving personalised calling cards to his followers to remind them of his presence.

From Adam and Eve, right through to the New Testament, Emily uncovers insights on the nature of being called by God, how people reacted, and what being called means for us. She encourages us to lean in to listen to God; to expect him to speak; and ultimately to get close enough to hear and recognise his voice.

Combining her trademark style of imaginatively retelling Bible stories with moving personal testimony, Emily invites the reader to personally encounter the God who loves them, and to look out for God's calling cards in their lives.

Review:

'Most precious stones form under intense pressures and Emily has let her own trials and sufferings create gems for us in this thought-provoking and prayer-inspiring book of biblical reflections.' - J.John, canonjjohn.com

'The way we handle personal trials and suffering is an indicator of our true character. For Emily Owen, her trials and challenges have produced a woman of deep wisdom and godly character. Emily’s writings, prayers, and life lessons learned from men and women in the Bible will guide you on your own journey and ignite your faith in God' loving care for you.'- Elizabeth George, author

'This book is full of poignant reminders that God is not satisfied with a distant, dutiful relationship, he died on the cross to bring us close to himself; to take away every barrier that would come between us and him. These thought-provoking readings will help us to be real, and to enter in to the joy of God’s intimate presence.' - Marilyn Baker, singer/songwriter and Director of MBM Trust
