 Robert Benson begins The Echo Within by asking a friend, “What does God sound like?” I have been pondering this question since reading it. Like Benson’s friend, I have often wondered if I was following God’s calling or did it come from me. “We will know your power and presence this day, if we will but listen for your voice. (Psalm 95)”   

Not everyone is called to go to seminary, but we are all called to serve where we are. “Whatever work you do, whatever your calling, whatever are the specific details of living out the incarnate word spoken into you—the details you must work out with fear and trembling…”Whatever our craft, we are called to do our work in “truth and beauty and for the common good…” Benson shares his story with an open heart. He writes with wisdom. The Echo Within would make a great gift for a graduate.
