S. Lewis&#8217;s house, and back again&#8211;and why it was only in the reality of his worst nightmare that he learned what it means to be called.What is it like to be &#8221;called&#8221; by God for a particular purpose? What can you learn for your own life of faith from such a calling?<\/p>\n<p>Through a series of personal anecdotes, illuminating conversations, and candid reflections, <i>Called<\/i> brings you face-to-face not only with the world of C. S. Lewis, but also with the very real peaks and valleys of pursuing a calling. Seeking to reclaim the uniquely Christian sense of calling, Pemberton shows that God&#8217;s call cannot be reduced to one&#8217;s dreams, skills, or passions, vividly and powerfully illustrating how Christ turns ideas of failure and success on their head. <i>Called<\/i> will encourage you to realize God has entered into your story, calling out to you anew each day with the words, &#8221;Follow me,&#8221; leaving you to ask, Will I be obedient to the calling set before me?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friend of the Foundation and former Scholar-In-Residence at the Kilns, Ryan Pemberton, has recently released his new book\u00a0Called, a memoir recounting Ryan&#8217;s life in Oxford, where he studied, lived, and gave tours at C.S.
