Listening for God's Call: Discipleship and Ministry provides a general introductory text for theological reflection on the call of God. It begins by exploring the idea of listening to the call of God, which is at the heart of the Christian gospel. The opening chapter sets God's call in the context of Mark's Gospel and the call of the disciples. Other topics include:
*God's call in the Bible
*discipleship in today's Church
*called to be lay
*called to reader and local preacher ministry
*called to ministry as priest and presbyter
*called to pioneer ministries
*called to self-supporting ministry.

The Learning Church series offers a range of short and accessible introductions on some of the key themes in Christian theology and discipleship.This book discusses the basic Christian belief that God has a purpose and plan for the World and that God calls us to work with God to bring that purpose and plan to fruition. In contemporary Christian thinking Gods call is to discipleship and ministry. This book is designed to help readers grasp the theology of call and of vocation and to discern Gods call to them.
