Has God called you to ministry? Though all Christians are called to serve the cause of Christ, but each call is specific. God calls people to serve uniquely. It is a high honor to be called of God into the ministry. The question is how do you know if God is calling you? If you are a Christian, you have probably heard a thousand times about doing God’s will or listening for God’s call. Many of us are perfectly content to believe that obeying God’s will means going to church every Sunday and putting a check in the offering box. God’s plan is bigger than that. These days, many Christians think of careers rather than callings. The biblical challenge to most Christians is an extended call from the call to salvation to the call to the ministry. The longer I am a Christian, the more I realize that God does not need super stars. He doesn’t! He simply needs ordinary people who will say, “Here I am, use me.” Stop focusing on what you cannot do. Let God decide what you cannot do. You just be available. If God only used perfect people, who would get used? God uses ordinary people who are ready to be used by Him. When God calls you, He is giving you the free-will to say ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ but when we call to Him, He has only two answers; ‘YES’ and ‘NOT NOW’. The choice lies with the one being called. Do you sense that God is calling you to ministry? Do you burn with a compulsion to proclaim the Word, share the Gospel, and care for God’s flock? Has this call been confirmed and encouraged by those Christians who know you closely? All these will be answered in this book.
The author examines the controversial subject of the relationship between prostitutes and their customers from a different perspective: from that of the john. This book tells of how and why explorations lead to adventures that lead to drastic changes. The telling is raw and vivid as the women conduct their business and the man ventures into their anomie world of sex, drugs, violence, and homelessness. As we dip into the lives of the women he dates, the narrator's own troubled mind and history are revealed. The buyer of the sex-for-hire service repeatedly follows his nature as he seeks to find love and romance there instead. The otherwise intelligent and resilient man recognizes the folly in that and comes to think of these encounters as fantasy adventures, separate and apart from the reality of his everyday life. But he finds it increasingly difficult to keep fantasy separate from reality while the torment that ever permeates his being remains and travels with him as he ventures from one realm to the other. The reader must always read between the lines to understand things that the narrator does not yet realize.
