Sinossi

God’s call on our lives is one of the most sacred and transforming truths in the Christian journey. It’s a call that goes beyond the confines of one's career choices, or even their worldly achievements.

The real essence of God’s calling is found in how we respond to His presence, His purpose, and His plan for our lives, not in the accolades we gather or the places we go.

This story is one of such a journey. It follows the life of Opie, a young boy from a small village in Ghana, who, through divine guidance and years of wrestling with the call on his life, ultimately discovers the greater purpose behind God’s summons.

Like many of us, he struggled with understanding that the ultimate calling was not about pursuing a prestigious career or arriving at a particular place of success, but about walking in faithfulness to God’s plan, wherever it may lead.

The Apostle Paul speaks of this in Romans 8:28-29, when he assures us that, “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

The journey may not always make sense in the beginning or in the moment, but God works through every circumstance, good and bad, to shape us into His likeness and accomplish His will.

This calling, therefore, is not about a destination, but about purpose. It is about growing in obedience and faithfulness wherever we are, in whatever role or situation God places us.

This young man's powerful story is a reminder that the outward circumstances of our lives—whether we find ourselves in a taxicab, a classroom, a corporate office, or a pulpit like Opie, is not the true measure of God's calling.

His calling transcends what the world defines as “success.” It is rooted in faithfulness to God.

    Edgar Award Winner: True stories of miscarriages of justice, legal battles, and landmark reversals, by the creator of Perry Mason.    In 1945, Erle Stanley Gardner, noted attorney and author of the popular Perry Mason mysteries, was contacted by an overwhelmed California public defender who believed his doomed client was innocent. William Marvin Lindley had been convicted of the rape and murder of a young girl along the banks of the Yuba River, and was awaiting execution at San Quentin. After reviewing the case, Gardner agreed to help—it seemed the fate of the “Red-Headed Killer” hinged on the testimony of a colorblind witness.   Gardner’s intervention sparked the Court of Last Resort. The Innocence Project of its day, this ambitious and ultimately successful undertaking was devoted to investigating, reviewing, and reversing wrongful convictions owing to poor legal representation, prosecutorial abuses, biased police activity, bench corruption, unreliable witnesses, and careless forensic-evidence testimony. The crimes: rape, murder, kidnapping, and manslaughter. The prisoners: underprivileged and vulnerable men wrongly convicted and condemned to life sentences or death row with only one hope—the devotion of Erle Stanley Gardner and the Court of Last Resort.   Featuring Gardner’s most damning cases of injustice from across the country, The Court of Last Resort won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime. Originating as a monthly column in Argosy magazine, it was produced as a dramatized court TV show for NBC.

    An electric essay collection about Blackness, art, and dreaming of new possibilities in a time of constriction 
     
     
     
    This collection of innovative, penetrating, and lively essays features swimming pools and poets, road trips and museums, family dinners and celebrity sightings. In a voice that is at once piercing, mournful, and slyly comic, Aisha Sabatini Sloan inhabits several roles: she is an art enthusiast in Los Angeles during a city-wide manhunt; a daughter on a road trip with her father; a professor playing with puppets in the wilds of Vermont; an interloper on a police ride-along in Detroit; a collector of the dreams of scientists at a biostation. As she watches cell phone video recordings of murder and is haunted in her sleep by the news, she reflects on her formative experiences with aesthetic and spiritual discovery, troubling those places where Blackness has been conflated with death. 
     
     
     
    Sabatini Sloan's lively style is perfectly suited to the way she circles a subject or an idea before cinching it tight. The curiosity that guides each essay, focusing on the period between the 2016 election and the onset of the pandemic, is rooted in the supposition that there is an intrinsic relationship between the way we conceptualize darkness and our collective opportunity for awakening.
