Customer Reviews

Great book for those planning a new direction in their lives

I loved this book. I recently decided to reread it when I was inbetween jobs, and it gave me some very good ideas about how to move forward in a positive direction. I heard David is coming out with an update to this book, published by Lorian Association.

LISTENING TO RESPOND

Everyone at one point in their live has posed the question of the meaning of existence. What is my purpose here on earth, what am I to do are just a few of the many questions that have escaped from our lips. In this slim volume David Spangler enables us to deal with that still small voice that nudges us into unknown territory. The name we give that voice is "The Call" which is active throughout our lives. Spangler shares with us his own personal experiences in both accepting the call and defining its meaning. He shows us that in both the spiritual and scientific world, humanity is part of the whole. We are to live, give and grow in this world of ours as we accept our call in life. We, ourselves are walking answers to the call. This text lays out the differences between a call and a summons and how they work in our lives. We are also given insight concerning issues of power and integrity. In essence calls are all around us but we must pay attention. Calls are also not one shot deals but are processes that work themselves through us in the course of a lifetime. The Call is a beautiful book which points one onto his or her spiritual journey. By all means listen to your call and respond. The Call will enable you on your quest. It is a much needed resource in your spiritual library.

If You Are On The Path You Will Find This Book

I have read many book on spirituality, but this one talked to me like no other. David Spangler has captured the complex subject of life through some simple and enlightening viewpoints. The Call is a book for anyone looking for the present moment or should I say, "becoming aware" of the present moment.
