Os Hillman - The Joseph Calling: 6 Stages to Discover, Navigate, and Fulfill Your Purpose

In his powerful new book The Joseph Calling, Os Hillman illustrates that we are not designed without a purpose, that we have a larger story. Our purpose is not just what we do. Calling and anointing go together. Adversity builds Christlikeness. What will others say when your life is over? Os beautifully and intentionally shows that God develops character in his messengers through waiting, testing, and failure. Humility is the most important characteristic. From light to darkness, abuse to praise, isolation to temptation, pain and betrayal, all can lead to maturity as we learn to respond as Jesus did by maximizing our leadership as his creation. I heartily endorse this book.

Os Hillman has a unique command of the revelation surrounding Joseph and his life. His mastery is the byproduct of a lifetime of research and personal experience combined with a special anointing to put it all together. Os can help you get accurate on fulfilling the call in your life. I love The Joseph Calling and heartily recommend it to you!

Os Hillman has done it again with his informative new book The Joseph Calling. It is one of the most interesting and well written books Ive been blessed to read in quite some time. He combines personal experience, which in some cases was devastating, Holy Scripture, the biblical history of mighty men and women called by God, and his own spiritual insight to help teach others about the significance of determining ones purpose and answering the question of why we were born. He also explains in detail how trials and tribulation build character and prepare us for accomplishing the purpose for which God created us. I highly recommend this book and am confident you will learn from it and hopefully be transformed by it.

I read in Os Hillmans The Joseph Calling that the core reason God created him was to articulate and shepherd foundational ideas that lead to transformation. Well, Os has succeeded to do that here. Anyone desiring to live out the purpose God created you for and to understand how your disappointments, hurts, and pain fit into that purpose should read this book. Its rich with foundational biblical truths that will lead to transformation!

Os has once again found deep insight from Scripture on that seminal issue we each face: What is my purpose? What did God design me for when he brought me onto this earth? The closer we can take ourselves to this calling, the more vibrant and Spirit-led a life we will have. Join Os on that journey.

In The Joseph Calling, Os Hillman gives us a solid biblical understanding of our process with the Lord. The fact that God has to work in us before we can manifest his Kingdom and fruit is a manifestation of his wisdom and his mark of quality assurance. Read the book, be inspired, and be a part of Gods plan for restoration as a wonderful foretaste of a coming future.

In todays world, most of us arent worried about having food to eat or a place to sleep. But what we are seeking is a sense of purpose. We want to know why we are here on the earth. The Joseph Calling reminds us there is a ready guidebook that has shown story after story of how God uses real-life experiences to prepare us and to reveal to us our own Joseph calling. Recognizing these six stages in your own life will peal back the mystique and let you know with confidence why you were born.
