You will feel the Call

This book reminds you of your call to be a person of hope to people with none. It shows you how and forces you to think about why you haven't been motivated to share your faith like you should. It is a must read for every follower of Jesus Christ!

Let God Satisfy the Longing in Your Heart!

Hutchraft's underlying premise is that reaching the lost for Jesus can help satisfy the deep longing for significance God has placed in our hearts.Among the important points covered in the book are:1. Restlessness can be of God.2. A complacent Christian doesn't care for the lost.3. Practical ways to show Jesus to others.4. Examples of changing Christian words to everyday terms the lost can understand.5. Religious activity will not impact unsaved people nearly as much as being a caring person to them (AMEN!).6. The battle is the Lord's and we must leave the results to Him.7. 5 secrets of a strong relationship with God.8. Mistakes Christians make and assume in trying to reach out to others and what methods are most effective.Read the book and be encouraged to be a better witness for Jesus and loving the unsaved as special creations of God!

You Can Be Great!

God's desire is that each one of us do something great with our lives is the premise from which the book emerges. Jesus taught the principle of greatness and, in fact, lived it so we would have a model. Hutchcraft calls it the "magnificent obsession" that comes from the heart of God into your heart. It's an eternal rescue mission, aimed at doing God's will in your life. You are God's assigned representative where He has placed you. You touch people that others do not influence. God placed you where you are to help some of the people there go to heaven. We are His messengers of reconciliation, according to 2 Corinthians 5:19. This book shows you how significant your life is to God's plan and to other people. It will encourage you.

This book is changing my life.

Ron Hutchcraft's book, Called to Greatness, is changing my life. I am a full-time career missionary, working in evangelism and church planting. Even so, I often struggle with the practical outworking of my greater vision. How do I build a relationship with my neighbor, the other P.T.A. member, the vegetable store owner? Sometimes I am so gripped with fear, I simply cannot speak up when the opportunity is there. Ron's thorough discussion of Paul's prayer, "Open the door, open their hearts, open my mouth" was such a motivator for me. We have 5-10 young people who will be working with us this summer. Ron's book is going to be the text for our "team" meetings and discussions. I am so thankful that Mr. Hutchcraft has written this excellent book which will help every Christian find a more fulfilled life as they rescue lost souls.
