I Think It's God Calling

Katy Magdalene Price

4.9/5 (10000 ratings)

Description:I Think It’s God Calling is Katy Magdalene Price’s revealing and amusing story of a church outsider from an atheist family, torn from the norms of fashion and riotous hen parties, who finds herself totally unprepared for being an insider in the process to train for the Church of England priesthood. 'What I needed was an official diagnosis. I knew that people had this thing called ‘vocation’, but I had no idea whether what I was experiencing was the same. What I really needed was someone to tell me, ‘No, don’t worry, you don’t have a vocation. You’re just going mad.’ (p. 16)Katy’s observations, which began life as a blog to help other disoriented Christian vocation hunters, are certainly amusing as they detail the viewpoint of a normal office worker on a process rooted in tradition and seemingly out of touch with the modern age. 'Yet I did notice one odd thing about the make-up of the group. As we gathered in the chapel, I kept my eyes lowered and noticed that mine were the only shoes with heels.' (p. 48)I Think It’s God Calling follows Katy from her first surprising encounter with God in the liturgy of Compline, through the Anglican interview process of tea and a chat, learning to ‘speak Christian’ and feeling the pain of rejection, to her acceptance for training at Mirfield—where she acquires a cloak perfect for Hallowe’en, medieval fayres and Harry Potter conventions. And finally, we stand alongside her as she steps out into her first curacy with a clear warning not to get drunk in public or to wear jeans and jumpers to important meetings! Amusing, yes, but within its addictive pages there lies the challenge to discover a more serious practical faith, and the deep heart-searching of a woman battling to find her place in a man’s world who is never quite allowed to forget the depression that had been part of her life some years before. 'I had no enemy, nobody who bore me any malice, just a group of prayerful and careful and well-intentioned Christians who had accidentally given me a slap in the face. One of the interviewers had simply misread my form. Another, in spite of my medical clearance, was concerned about my past history of depression and wanted to protect me from all the stressful aspects of ministry.' (p. 54)While this is her own personal story, ‘It’s not really about me,’ writes Katy; ‘it’s a story about God, and the amazing things he does with the most unlikely people.’Inspiring, honest, challenging and definitely funny! 'I wanted an easy life. What God has given me is life itself, life in abundance. Sometimes, it feels like too much life to handle!'We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
