Thoughts & Musings on Calling
It was about a year ago that I heard from my friend, Dom; he was holding a copy of Called, the first copy I had ever seen. I made my way to Portland that weekend to speak on C. S. Lewis to a room full of folks at Dom's church. It was then that I saw my words in print for the first time.
It's tough to put into words how much that moment meant. That was one year ago this month.
"You know what would be cool?" I asked Jen as we made plans to celebrate the launch of my new book, Called: My Journey to C. S. Lewis's House and Back Again. "To throw a full English tea."

I've read what some of my favorite authors do on the day of their book's release. Donald Miller confesses to checking his book's Amazon ranking every seven minutes to see how it's doing. Anne Lamott talks about roaming her house anxiously waiting for friends to call and tell her what a remarkable book she's crafted.
For me, today feels like my birthday, Christmas morning, and the most nerve-wracking senior prom all wrapped up in one.
"No book I have ever read, or sermon I have ever heard, does justice to this topic like the simple sharing of Ryan's story--not so much because his tale is extraordinary--but simply because it is told truly."
