Writing to a student and young adult audience—although applicable to leaders of all ages—Iorg declares the purpose of his brief, yet powerful

Endorsements
“The next best thing to sitting on the porch and discussing this pivotal life question with a wise mentor.”
—Ron Ellis, president, California Baptist University
“A must read for every seminary student, potential missionary, or pastor-to-be.”
—Geoff Hammond, president, North American Mission Board
“Every semester students sit down in my office to tell their story and seek a sense of clarity about God's calling for their life. Is God Calling Me ? is a great tool for helping them find that clarity. The biblical background and the practical frameworks and stories that Jeff Iorg shares have already been a great help to me in giving those students handles for their questions.”
—Darrell Cook, campus minister, Virginia Tech
“Acknowledging all believers have a call of God on their life, Iorg effectively categorizes the more specific calls to Christian leadership or missionary service as well as God's call to a particular job or location. His review of the diverse ways God calls will dispel doubts and indecision while giving assurance and confidence.”
—Jerry Rankin, president, International Mission Board
"I've already been using the contents of Is God Calling Me ? in presentations to students here at our seminary. Jeff Iorg has certainly written a volume that speaks to a crucial need for all seminarians. The issue of call has always been paramount to seminarians, but I think its necessity is even more obvious in these early days of the 21st century." —Byron D. Klaus, president, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary

A very applicable book for a season I’m walking through. Honestly will probably continue to come back to this book as I feel the Lord calling me and leading me wherever he wants me to go. Struggled through it in a way of just feeling ready to know where I want the Lord to lead me but still unsure of what my future holds. Good truths and advise regarding “callings”.

Pretty good! I would definitely give this to a young person considering a call to ministry.
